Another successful OpenBSD setup

I’ve been buying these little boxes from AliExpress for years to use as firewalls and routers. My oldest one is almost 9 years old now! OpenBSD installs just fine. Just a BIOS tweak to always boot up after power is restored.

      I’m bent on getting as many people as I know to self-host everything possible and to guard their home networks. The garbage out there today is too much.

        For sure. I’m hoping that with much cheaper and more reliable hardware
        that we have now, it makes it easier for indivduals and small groups
        to run services that could only be run by big dysfunctional companies.
        Fingers crossed!

          It’s not much, but I got a friend from church (die-hard Apple user) to love away from all that crap. He now owns a Pixel 6 Pro running Graphene and is running PopOS on an Intel Mac. Sold his IPhone too.

          He says that I am the only person he knows that preaches 2 Gospels 🤣🤣
