Re: Improvements and thoughts on small projects for advocacy

Hello, my name’s Derek, I subscribed to this email list last year when I was attempting to build a home OpenBSD router. It worked however I’ve got intermediate command line skills at best and I switched over to pfSense for the GUI in order to configure VLANs and OpenVPN client. 

I think an OpenBSD based router with a simplified GUI for easy setup of VPNs and VLANs paired with Unifi APs so more people can be empowered to setup secure and private home networks is a good thing. 

I recently started a blog https://netpraetor.com/  advocating for data privacy and data security. 

Protectlii hardware with coreboot and OpenBSD is a great combo!
