We've got to support and secure a LOT of devices on our office network which can be a challenge for even the beefiest routers and firewalls. Today Jake is showing off one of the TWO new OPNsense DEC4280s we got to show off why this expensive piece of open-source equipment is worth it for us.

"I can spend 3 hours talking about all the OPNSense features" - yes please
-
Jake either brings shockingly cheap server hardware or gut punching expensive. There is no in between.
-
You guys change backend equipment as much as I change underwear for my backend
-
i work as an it professional and installed similar deciso hardware in different customer scenarios. every unit works like a charm to this day. i really like opnsense, so simple to setup everything and rock solid. cheers
-
As someone who works with rack mount HW all day every day, redundant PSU's are not helpful if they are not hot swappable. If one fails the unit has to be taken out of service for an extended period in order to replace the bad one. That isn't something you're going to do on the floor, too loud etc., so all a redundant PSU does is delay when the outage occurs.

I thought it took me the whole video to realize Jake was wearing an M539 Restorations shirt but he switched right at the end 😂 If anyone reading this is into BMW's or just cars in general it is one of the best automotive youtube channels by far!
-
Seeing Jake with a M539Restauration shirt is just awsome
-
am i the only one that find it infuriating that an open source router has a "warrantee void if removed" sticker on it and has 0 hotswap parts while also using annoying torx bits
-
Jake is just THE networking guy now
-
Thanks for the mention guys, keep up the great work!
-
At over $6,000 USD I don't want a single 3D printed part on it. Additive machining is for cheap stuff, not something that cost this much.
-
Fantastic t-shirt of one of the greatest car youtube channels
-
Nice T-Shirt !! We love M539 too !
-
Great video!!! Love that HW seems very well designed, i had OPNsense running on my Sophos box for years now, love it.
-
I am not a network guy. i only have basic knowledge of networking for the home. But i always get excited when jake and linus talks about this stuff.
-
love OPNsense. I switched from pfSense VMs to a pfSense dedicated old desktop and finally to an open-source-BIOS / OPNSense based miniPC. It's the best of both worlds, small power usage like a traditional router, but completely configurable (and I got 2.5G ports for future upgrading my 1G setup)
-
I have little to no idea what's Heidi in this or any other video LMG but I love watching them. That's a testament to the entertainment value.
-
You guys should do a video sometime on exactly why OPNSense is better than PFSense. Or why you "prefer" it over PFSense, if you don't want to get into which one is "definitively better"...
-
Looks well designed and pretty good looking (for a router!)
-
"its a router, it rips" I see what you did there!
