Finally got around to updating my #OpenBSD router (new hardware) pairing it together with an #OpenWRT AP, funnelling everything through a separate #raspberrypi zero running #pihole

[justine@snac.smithies.me.uk]

Do you have a blog post on your router with configs and such to show new users how to go about setting up their own OpenBSD router ?

[bt@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@justine

I have this older one: https://btxx.org/posts/openbsd-router/

But I'm no longer using the old Mac Mini (and hacky USB-to-ethernet setup). I think I'll have to break this update into a multi part blog post (first basic router with openwrt wifi, then bringing in the pi-hole, then self hosted web server...maybe we'll see!)

@bt @justine

I'm curious to hear more about your experiences with the openwrt ap.

[peterupfold@fosstodon.org]

@bt Can I ask what hardware you are running for the AP?

[bt@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@PeterUpfold

It’s a D-Link DIR-878 router (flashed with OpenWRT)

[peterupfold@fosstodon.org]

@bt Cool, thanks!

@bt I'm curious why you chose a separate Pi or pihole as against running adguard+ on OpenBSD.

[bt@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@argv

I originally had my own adblock.conf being fed through unbound on the OpenBSD router itself, but I prefer separation of tasks. Everything should try to do one thing really well etc.

Finished up my post:

@bt that’s a neat setup.

@bt finally! A new post from BT himself!!
