I’m looking for a cheap but futureproof way to run OPNsense at my place.

So I’m looking for a DSL modem capable of running at 300 Mbits and being able to run im bridge mode, it’s fine if I buy it used I just couldn’t find any good recommendations as FritzBox seems to not like running in bridge mode. Being able to flash something like OpenWRT on it is a bonus.

And on the other hand I’m looking for good recommendations for the OPNsense box. Should have enough power for Wireguard and package inspection. Used ist probably preferred

Thanks in advance :)

    Try making sure you’re looking for a DSL modem, and not a DSL modem router combo. If it’s just a modem then there is no bridge mode to enable because it’s always in bridge mode. You’ll have to supply your own separate router, but that gives you the freedom to run whatever you want on your router while the modem does it’s modemy things.
