Well I finally got #HomeAssistant interfaced to my #OPNsense router and OMG ! I cannot believe that it provided a total of 119 entities for displaying information about my #FreeBSD router. Not that I'm going need anywhere near that.
At the moment I'm showing the following:

CPU's 0-3 temperatures
Memory used
Uptime since last boot
WAN PPPoE Status
OPNsense Integration Updates Available
WAN IN/OUT graphs
LAN IN/OUT graphs

New #blog post: Isolating our guest wifi network with VLANs and #opnsense

As the result of a wifi hardware change, our guest network ended up comingled with the LAN.

This post sets up a VLAN and configures OPNsense to use dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 subnets for it.

I've got an old #cisco #ASA 5512-x laying around that I figured might come in handy some day.

My brother recently sent me an article to a fellow who got #opnSense running on it, and of course I had to bite.

It was almost too easy! I tracked down an ancient VGA to IDC connector, installed it on the motherboard, and then changed the BIOS around to boot from a thumbdrive. OpnSense installed without issue, and BAM I have a 7-port gigabit router with a #xeon processor, 8GB of DDR3 and a 128GB SSD.

I haven't tested yet, but supposedly these bad boys can push *almost* full line speed.

Not too bad for free! It appears these can be had online for under $50 all day long.

If anyone's interested here is the graph for CPU temperature when my new #OPNsense N100 router was running in the homelab cabinet rack vs when I just put a simple USB desk fan beside it to blow out the heat. A roughly 15C drop so the results will be much better hopefully when I get the proper cooling fans for the cabinet. PS The drop to zero is where I powered it off whilst tidying some other cables near by.
