I just recently got a new ISP and new internet speed 1200/600, my current firewall with opnsense can not handle the speed (AMD GX-412TC SOC), I have been looking for a new firewall (opnsense + 2.5 Ethernet) and found several with the Intel N100 CPU (2023).

I was wondering if this CPU is good enough to handle the Internet speed and if there is overhead?

Honestly I'm a big fan of openWRT as it can give very good performance on cheap and used hardware.

I've never used it on amd64 but it may be worth a shot.

I used devices from gl iNet, the devices are good, but I find the UI of opnsense way better (compared to advance ui of openWRT) and updates are directly from opnsense.

I still have them for smaller network tests but for some reason I never got close to it. Probably another reason is that my brother uses opnsense too, if we have any issues we can ask each other for help.

Is there a good gui suggestion?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It comes with a fairly extensive GUI

Last time I used Luci gui was like 12 years ago. How has it improved since?

I haven't been using it for 12 years but right now the Luci GUI is the most extensive router GUI I've used.
