I went through this at the beginning of the year, it get 900/900 fibre, settled on openwrt running on a nanopi r4s. My other options were a nanopi r6s with openwrt, or nuc type hardware/server running something like pfsence/opnsence etc. The openwrt install took about 5mins then a couple of hours of exploring various menus options etc, which I didnt end up changing.
I’m thinking about the RS6 a lot but really want to put Alpine Linux on it if I can manage it. My reasoning is I already know how to set up a router from scratch on the command line.
OpenWRT is probably easier but I’ve had bad experiences with its UI (and the distro as a whole) in the past, but the version of it on my GL.inet travel router is pretty rock solid though the UI still annoys me and I’d rather do most configuration via SSH.
Does OpenWRT support multiple WireGuard interfaces and VLANs? This is kind of what I’m wanting.
pfSense (I know, it’s UNIX) looked good on paper too but after playing with it on a VPS the UI just seemed overly complex. I don’t want to learn the ins and outs of some weird UI.
