I think the problem with Clear OS is that it has a very narrow market. People comfortable with Linux and containers have their own preferred method. And band new users don't know it exists.
As for your OPNsense issue, I have never seen anything like that before and can not understand it. Hardware conflict perhaps? You can also try OpenWRT or there is a free Sophos firewall. Also Firewalla, but it is a bit old...
Yes, but the other computers I listed have a person behind them that will click things. Like a "close" button that actually installs malware. A NAS does not click things.
I was looking at their policies, and I am worried about the "Forbidden Services" where they forbid "Forward-only service for massive numbers of domains on one account." I have 5 domains... Any idea what "massive numbers" means?
Also, can you send to an sms gateway a single email?
With these tools and others, that game is just about over. So many consumers are just done with all the BS, and I think a larger shift is coming.
Much more likely to gain access via a compromised desktop, or smart phone.
I know. That is why I said there was a lot of good stuff there.
Zoho has been solid for me as well.
The quality of APC has really drops to pathetic levels. This is another example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIEM2bG8mOQ We dropped them years ago for Cyberpower. Got tired of RMAs.
Another vote for this. Has the most open platform, so future stuff is most likely to work with it. Also allows for full local control, (If your smart devices allow this) so you don't have to worry about a rug pull later.
I guess that depends on your definition of "hacked." If someone sneaks in and takes your personal information and sells it to nefarious people, it is a hack. But if there is a "click to agree" it is business as usual.
When you turn your NAS into a hosting platform, it is no longer just a NAS.
