I recently moved to an area with more internet provider options, all of which were not satellite-based. This change allowed me leave my current provider (Starlink) and also freed my network from being locked behind CGNAT. The jump from ~150Mbps to 1Gbps has been fantastic, but the real benefit in this switch has been the ability to overhaul my home network setup.

OpenBSD is generally the way to go for custom router setups, it seems, and if it wasn’t for my own full Ubiquiti setup, I’d definitely consider this too.
I still miss a more modern FS when working with OpenBSD. The FS doesn’t have to ZFS, but some homegrown equivalent to btrfs would be nice.
Whatever you want to do in OpenBSD should also be possible in FreeBSD. And FreeBSD also has ZFS.
You’re correct. I use FreeBSD more then OpenBSD, mostly because of jails and ZFS, and I can add software from ports, some of which has been ported from OpenBSD, to get equivalent functionality. Having network stuff in base is pretty attractive when creating a network device though.
The things I can’t do are FS related. I’d like to take a snapshot of the CoW FS and send it to a backup server, and I would like to create flexible datasets which preserve the security of each dataset rather then opting for more static partitions.
To be fair. I’d also like UFS in FreeBSD to be updated as well. Sometimes, I don’t need the weight or all the features of ZFS, just some of the features.
Plus, OpenBSD has a cohesiveness and attention to detail FreeBSD doesn’t have. OpenBSD feels smoother from a user’s perspective.
NetBSD also has ZFS as well, for what it’s worth.
Nice upgrade! That speed boost plus no more CGNAT must feel amazing, and OpenBSD sounds like a solid choice if you ever move away from Ubiquiti. download minecraft terbaru
