  In my professional life I must have done setup of  OPNsense / pfSense  more than 300 + times.  But, I swear, never heard or imagined transparent filtering bridge.   Thank you Dave for enlightening me and the world about it.  Will surely put in to practice.

  Love the fact that I could follow your step-by-step without getting lost. Yes! Do more OPNsense stuff. Add a segment on using a machine with built-in Wi-Fi so I don’t have to go down the add a separate  access point gadget to complicate matters.

  This is exactly the sort of opnsense configuration I was looking for to implement for home clients. Beautiful, clear and concise video. Much appreciated. Looking forward to more content!

  Dave, great summary. Perfect timing as I move away from an old Untangle firewall.

  <i>&quot;Errata: OPNSense is FreeBSD, not Linux!&quot;</i> I&apos;m an old, grey-bearded Unix sys admin, and that makes me like it even more.

  Love the one-liners. &nbsp;@<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTUvlFfThPw&amp;t=57">0:57</a> &quot;The order in which you do things doesn&apos;t really matter,&quot; said with a completely straight face. &nbsp;CCNA dig pretty funny too!

  After watching this video the first time about a year ago, I went ahead and followed all the steps, and all worked perfectly. But then I thought to myself, &quot;self,&quot; we can do better than a Dell, so I decided to build a rack-mount firewall with an AMD 6-core, 6-thread, 2.5 GHz CPU, a 2.5G NIC, running Chrony, Zenarmor, Q-Feeds, and almost anything I can install without breaking it. So, thank you, Dave, for lighting the fire!

  Back in the days we called it ”bump in the wire”. Have set up a few cisco ASA with transparent filtering. Love your videos ❤ / retired CCNP-R/S, CCNP-S 😅
