Also hoping to get a server style UPS soon, which reminds me, I have to go check if there's a homelabsales community here :)
In case you’re interested - pfsense has a plug-in that works just like pihole called pfblockerng it uses the exact same format as pihole lists too. I was already running DNS on my pfsense to this made more sense than spinning up a separate machine.
Thanks! I had tried it, but I end up going back to pihole for the GUI <3
Nice setup, regarding protectli with pfsense, how much throughput do you get with intrusion detection set to on... Was wondering about protectli products and their performance. I can only make use of 1/4 of the bandwidth with my current thin client
I'm getting about ~800-900 Mbps down and ~15 up (a bit more than what I pay for). I did notice that when I saturate the sownly speeds, my CPU will max out and I'll start getting latency spikes to the point where the traffic stops on the network.
After looking into it and adding a buffer bloat rule/ limiter, I'm not having any issues. I guess that's the price of running IDS on 7 VLAN interfaces, but it's getting by. When I go 10Gbe I will definitely pick something a little more capable, but it's great for 1 Gbe
Thanks, I am paying for 1gbs up and down and wondering which Hardware would be good. Which protectli product do you have? I see some heavy price differences
I've been using this one without issues for years. https://a.co/d/iTasHwu
