Nice internet setup! Do you use Adguard DNS/Home, or a Pihole? The amount of telemetry that IoT devices can send is crazy! I put my families Roku on my Adguard DNS, and it, no joke, sent a request to Google and Roku every 10 seconds. Echo Dots and Fire TVs also send a lot of telemetry, even with privacy options on.
My DNS setup at the moment is lazy I am using NextDNS. It lets me individual rules for each vlan though which I like as it gives a lot of control.
Did you research OPNSense vs pfsense? I have installed OPNSense, but having bit of performance issues with it, my 1Gbps ISP connection goes down 50% if IPS is enabled. Have been thinking that should I change to pfsense.
nah, I just started setting things up and it kept working...
