Am I crazy to move to pfSense from OPNsense?
  • IMO, no. I don’t use pfsense on a daily basis (MikroTik FTW), but netgate will use CE as a testing ground. They’ll keep putting out updates; but advanced functionality will be paywalled.

    How much electricity would this build cost?
  • I5 4690 idle, with all drives spinning (no read/write) at 60-70watts constant. Maybe a little less. I have a i7 4770s and it’s around 75watts idle with 8 drives, half spun down most of the time. Which is roughly 54 kWH.

  • Ilulz. Automated scans cost nothing in resources. That would not find a host IP, it’d find the public Ip and open port.

  • Nothing will stop a general scan from happening. Especially if it’s a slow scan.

    Scans won’t trigger dos/ddos alerts.

  • The only thing a CF tunnel does is protect your home IP. Doesn’t protect the app or server you’re exposing.

  • Not so much will someone be assed about it, it’s whether a script will pick you up your server. There’s a ton of aggregation search engines that scan most IPv4 addresses and list them on what ports are open etc. such as Shodan.io

    Like I said, safeish.
