@KenS1267 2 месяца назад

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.

@Alice_Fumo 2 месяца назад

It does give you the option of putting the outage into a designated maintenance time frame. For example, I would assume LMG doesn't really need their firewall Saturday 3am.

@netrixtardis 2 месяца назад

non-hotswap PSU devices should then be deployed in pairs, or in a HA situation - this allows the devices to keep running - even tho with 1 failed PSU. Once the fault it identified, you should either fail over to redundant device, or schedule a downtime window to replace faulty component.

@johngaltline9933 2 месяца назад

@@netrixtardis Which is exactly what Jake said they are doing. for what it's worth, for the small business sort of customer a device like this is aimed at, it doesn't seem like a big deal to schedule 15 minutes of down time, after the 2 or 3 days it will take to have a new PSU shipped out to you. No one is keeping spares on the shelf for this.

@SuperNGLP 2 месяца назад

Technically, they are hot swappable. If you leave all cables long enough to take the unit out of the rack and risk electrocuting yourself, you can pull it off. Having two PSU lets you connect it to two different power sources. Which you don't get to do with just one. But you are right, it's wayyy more convenient to just pull the defective PSU and load a new one.

@daxterrhiley7079 2 месяца назад

A dead PSU is not that kind of problem. OPNsense is build with HA in its base. If one unit fails, the second will take over all services, until the problems with the first unit is solved. This goes back to the roots, inside PFSense.

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"...

@alexatkin 2 месяца назад

Indeed. I've seen some people say they prefer pfSense because OPNSense updates TOO often and runs into upgrade issues due to that, whereas pfSense wait until there is a good reason to update and run into less issues due to a longer testing period. A big reason I'm still on pfSense though is having to port over my configuration would be a pain. Plus once you've learnt how the UI works it seems more of a chore to learn the difference than just stick with what you already know. I've not seen a compelling argument for why I should switch, more that OPNSense is easier if you don't already know how the pfSense UI works.

@Traumatree 2 месяца назад

OPNsense is not better than pfSense. Having a nicer UI doesn't make it better or faster. It is much the reverse in reality.

@AC-cg4be 2 месяца назад

@@alexatkin Those reasons are pretty much the reason I will not use OPNSense. I want a *very* stable network appliance, not the latest and greatest updates. I find pfSense to be extremely intuitive as well and have yet to have any issues with it *knock on wood*. Best practice in the network world is to generally update only about once or twice a year anyway unless there's a serious vulnerability discovered in the OS running on the appliance. Other than that, you don't want to be disrupting your customers all the time just to upgrade for no really good reason.

I agree about the open source and warranty void sticker, the no hotswap and torx I don't 100% agree with.

I don't see a device like this being used in many large enterprises, no hotswap, no global distribution chain for support and parts. More likely SMB or prosumer customers like LTT. Can't stand phillips screws, alright rounding over or striping. I found torx so annoying, until I actually owned a good set of torx bits and torx drivers. They are the superior screw.

Been running opnsense for a few months and it's a network engineers wet dream. From PPPoE to LTE to OVPN layer 2 bridges to physical ports you can do a bunch of complicated stuff. But by far the best feature is the ipv6 subnet support. Been missing that on every other router... You can even delegate a subnet as a prefix to a down the line router. Amazing IPv6 experience! IPv4 works aswell of course, you can even give v4 lower gateway priority so you get the ipv6 speed boost...

@jabowa Месяц назад

The one question that came up was about not installing a 2nd SSD. Network appliances almost always come in pairs, so in the event one fails, another is there to pick up the slack automatically. Instead of adding redundancy inside the device, you make the entire device redundant (Save for power, because power failures are some of the most common issues with data centers). Logs should be streamed to a local logging server, and configs need to be shipped off whenever a change occurs, so the data on the device is not an issue. This means, that if you ever need to service it, you can just power it down, let your network failover to another router, and then swap with one that has already been imaged, restore your configs, and it's back in service. If the drive fails, the entire device fails and the 2nd router will automatically pick up the traffic. Will a 2nd drive allow that failure to be delayed? Yes, but now you are running a router that is not at full capacity and on a degraded drive, not an ideal situation, but still, that would allow you to manage when to bring that device down instead of dealing with it right away. So there is value, but it adds complexity. Maybe they will add one in the production build, but that also adds cost, so there are always trade-offs that you need to consider. At least there is a 2nd nvme slot to let the customer make the choice.

I just built myself a Sophos firewall, I used an old dell optiplex with a dual intel gigabit NIC. Got the hardware all for about $120. For home use, its overkill. Sophos offers a free home version of their OS. It can do packet decryption and re-encryption (which breaks stuff but its fun to play with). The home based version does limit to you a 4 core CPU and 6GB of RAM. Which is fine for home use. Probably fine for a small business but the EULA likely states not to use it for a business environment. I had been using the setup for a PfSense deployment, but I wanted something that did deep packet inspection. Mostly just to play with.

The big sku is quite price competitive. I work with Fortinet Equipment, in terms of throughput that's comparable to a FG-400F with like 14k US MSRP (although any Fortinet Partner can probably get you a better price). The small sku though (the 4240 i think?), really isnt! for barely more dollars, you can get a 200F at MSRP that offer much more connectivity. and again, MSRP is often way higher than actual price paid. Cool vid!

Warranty void stickers are actually illegal in the US. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act 1975.

@companyoflosers 2 месяца назад

they aren't illegal, just unenforceable. they still put them on since there are no repercussions and they are counting on scaring people who don't know any better.

Seems like a bad idea to reuse that thermal compound on an exposed die CPU where adequate coverage is so important. Hope he at least spread it out. I dont see any obvious springs on those heatsink screws either, so that seems like an accident waiting to happen.

@alexatkin 2 месяца назад

Yeah, uneven distribution on a bare die with no springs is asking for a cracked die.
