Yes, hah, sorry it was a typo. It’s a 7530.

Great to know it should work, and yeah, good tip about writing down instructions on how to reverse it! Thanks!

Do you mind me asking what model FritzBox you have? I have a 7350 AX. Does this more or less match how you did it?

That’s a very interesting option actually. I haven’t followed Odroid in several years, but they seem to really have come on specs wise.

I saw that some users had concerns about I226-V NICs and that workarounds are needed sometimes - do you know if that’s still the case?

I don’t think I will be visualizing my router setup, I will do a bare metal install, but I do like the idea of having a second one of these as a backup server/router.

Yeah I think my concerns regarding using a mini PC might be misplaced, but I was more thinking in terms of the bios and firmware of the mini PC, i.e. if it it’s an older model, will it continue to receive updates. But then again I guess that would take a security vulnerability somewhere higher up the stack to exploit in the first place. 🤔

OPNSense’s default security posture does seem pretty good and will likely be a significant uplift from my router’s basic firewall.

Didn’t actually know about the single config thing, very useful.

That switch looks like a serious bit of kit! I’ll be taking it easy first, space is also at a bit of a premium.
