    Alternative to pfsense/Opnsense

    An interesting thread, I have been tinkering with OPNSense, pfSense, and OpenWRT on both bare metal and in virtualization. - OpenWRT is much more lean, has way better NIC compatibility thanks to its Linux Kernel. Although it undertilize hardware out-of-the-box (x86 is not its first-class...

    Possibility of lateral movement between VLAN

    So i guess whenever a connection is established, even it is 1 way, lateral movement is 100% possible? Only when we have a strict containment (fully isolated VLAN), we can prevent lateral movement. In this case, that means VLAN 10 infects VLAN 20. The malware is stuck there since VACL DENY 20 ->...

    Possibility of lateral movement between VLAN

    Let say we have 3 VLANs: 10, 20 and 30. VLANs 10 and 30 for regular devices (laptops, phones, etc) VLAN 20 for IoT device DENY VLAN 20 from establishing any RFC 1918 connection to VLANs 10 and 30. Also, no Internet access. ALLOW VLANs 10 and 30 to establish RFC 1918 connection to VLAN 20. VLANs...

    Tutorial Installing a AX210 Windows 10 Driver that works

    Not sure if this related, but code 10 usually means something is interfering with your startup process. In other words, a conflict. When I updated from AC7265 to AX210, I uninstalled AC7265 driver first, and replaced the card. However, there was also code 10 error. A fresh reset/reinstall of...

    Protecting physical interface?

    I will ask him about this, I don't think his budget will allow that though. To be honest, I also think these are the only options. Indeed, the problem is mainly wiretapping. I mean, I'm aware how bad the situation is, but it is what it is. There is a reason why back-end related position tends...

    Protecting physical interface?

    There is no way to do so since a shared room is so small, around 12x4 feet. The only option is locked our equipment into some sort of boxes. I guess that's enough to protect the equipment in this specific scenario. However, the main issue is ethernet endpoint on a wall. Just think of ethernet...

    Protecting physical interface?

    Hi all, So a friend asked me to setup a network system for his workplace. As of now, I'm intending to go with a pfSense box as a router. Not talking about the network design yet, the real problem is a server room. His business office is in a shared building. There are other companies in that...

    Tutorial Installing a AX210 Windows 10 Driver that works

    Just a small update with Ubuntu 21.04. I don't have any 6ghz router. However, with 5ghz wifi 6, using my phone as a wifi 6 AP, my laptop can connect perfectly and link speed > 1000Mbps is achievable. It supports out of the box. The downside is Bluetooth. Many times the Bluetooth cannot see any...

    Tutorial Installing a AX210 Windows 10 Driver that works

    Can you provide me a trustable link on Amazon please (or we you bought it)? I did look around but only found out some "only-1-review"/no name sellers or one with $$$ ($50+). My appreciation.

    Voxel To unregistered readers of SNB forums

    A bit off topic here, but has anyone here consider going open source like Merlin, unless it is somehow restricted by Netgear? Or maybe you already did, I don't know. I believe it would receive more public reception. For certain, I know free software isn't FOSS. I also knows there are free...

    What's bad about this setup?

    The following setup is for home network. It's just a theoretical one, a case study I create myself for my (near) future network upgrade. For now, I will not go into detail of my goals and reasons for the setup, but in general, I want it to be as secure as possible, and devices/clients must be...

    Is there anything 1 level above pfSense?

    Much appreciate for all the advice here. I have a background in Software Engineering so I also have some level of knowledge in term of networking, albeit no where near a Network Engineer. Although I did ask the question, I've just recently learned to use pfSense setup and there is still a long...

    Is there anything 1 level above pfSense?

    As this is my DIY hobby, letting the other do it would be out of my consideration :)

    Is there anything 1 level above pfSense?

    Maybe many of you have experienced this before. From integrated modem provided by ISP, you move on to a separate router. From a router, you learn about third-party firmware (Voxel, Merlin, etc) and so on. For me, it's like this: ISP integrated modem -> ISP modem + dedicated router ->...
