My preference is dedicated appliance. I am one of the lucky ones with a Mikrotik RB5009UPr.

I was also very happy with my RB3011UiAS-RM. The only reason i switched at the time was the advantage of pfsense to set up my FQDN with ACME certs for my Nextcloud.

ACME certs? Is the roadrunner involved?

ACME certs? Is the roadrunner involved?

Its a package in pfsense and stands for "Automated Certificate Management Environment".

And the overall meaning.

ACME is from the Greek for ‘highest point’. In English, acme usually means the peak of perfection, a concept which easily transfers over to the fictitious name of a company in a film, book, or whatever.
