Hey! Could you please share what you think didn't work so well with OpenWRT? I'm currently running a Turris Omnia with their custom OpenWRT that I know how to use and it's been working quite well. What's missing is a better CPU to run Wireguard encryption full speed through our fast internet connection.

I'm seriously thinking about pfSense or Opnsense, but FreeBSD still misses native Wireguard support, leaving the encryption to the go implementation, which is subpar for our use cases. But, I'd be happy to run Opnsense, with jails and all those goodies from FreeBSD.



Since Netgate (the company behind pfSense) paid for the Wireguard work, you can make a good bet that same will appear in a near-future release of pfSense.


Wireguard has been merged into upstream FreeBSD almost a couple months ago.


FreeBSD 13 is out in March 2021 and opnSense with that system much later. Might be a bit complex to go that route right now, but it might be a great choice one year from now...
