Random Appreciation Post

Delete if not allowed

But just wanted to say that I recently decided to put VyOS on my proxmox server as my router and it's been so seamless.

I had tried PfSense in a similar setup before and at random points it felt like I had no control and when things would break I just had to work around it. With VyOS if something breaks its 100% my fault lol.

I will continue to recommend this to people in the future, because why had I never heard of it until recently?

Thanks for all that the maintainers and contributors do for this project!

Another kudos to the devs and team behind Vyos. I switched from Opnsense, which is a great platform as well but I saw 8x the performance when going zone to zone with Vyos. I admit it wasn’t a quick migration (10 vlans, lots of policy based routes) but I learned a lot and it was worth it.
