Hiya, looking the a firewall for my homelab, mostly to experiment but also for a added layer of security. There are just two of us in this household with a few laptops, phones and my servers, so nothing much. Therefore looking for something affordable and not "overkill".

Anyone got any recommendations for this? Also how do you run your opensense/pfsense instance?

Appreciate any tips!

Good shout, on our second hand market there is currently a Sophos SG-115 for sale for 100ish euros. It includes an AP 55C and a Unifi poe adapter. Doesnt seem too bad a deal to me. What do u think?

    Which hw revision?

    If it is a ver3 it is the same I have, good for FW and red services, you can make complex setups.

    It is a bit short on cpu for ips systems(suricata and zenarmor) , but it is able to do dns filtering via adguard or unbound.

    100€ sounds good to me if it comes with AP, people here are happy with that brand

    Good luck
