I finally decided to buy a mini PC to make it as a pfsense router and I was wondering witch option is more suitable for my needs
First I was thinking of doing with proxmox so I could install pi-hole and wireguard in it but looking more into pfsense I see that there is PfblockerNG and also a Wireguard package that could be installed inside.
What does everybody in here use? I'm curious to know if thinkering in proxmox to run pfsense is more efficient than just installing bare-metal.
Thank you
Conclusion: will go with sole pfsense since I never used it in the first place, once accustomed will switch to proxmox, thank you everyone I hope there will be more posts like this in this platform
I run pfSense virtualized along with a wireguard vm and a couple of other vms for core services. A benefit of virtualization is that you can live migrate your router to another physical host if you ever need to do any hardware maintenance. It's nice being able to service the hardware without waiting until every user is asleep so you can safely bring your router down.
