Beginner's Guide to Set up a Full Network using OPNsense
After finishing the comprehensive guide on building a full network using #OPNsense, I've decided to create a more simplified version for beginners that may be easier to digest than the original guide ( • Set up a Full Network using OPNsense (Part... ).
I was further motivated by some discussions on Reddit as well as the fact that there has been an increase of users migrating to OPNsense.
My hope is that this guide helps you get started on your own home network journey as you begin to separate out your trusted and untrusted devices on your network!
