4 hardware requirements I would never skimp on when building my own OPNsense or pfSense router
If you're looking to build your own router and firewall, these are the most important components you need to worry about.
Home networking can be an incredibly rewarding hobby, especially when you start building and configuring your own OPNsense or pfSense router and firewall. Recently, I transformed a Ugreen DXP4800 Plus NAS into a dedicated OPNsense box, and the results surprised me, largely due to the quality of the Ugreen NAS hardware. During this process, I did a lot of research on the essential components and quickly learned there are certain hardware requirements you simply shouldn't skimp on.
