Conversely, I tried running openbsd as a router on my ubiquiti edgerouter for my 950 megabit up/down connection and couldn't get even close to the performance of even the shitty ISP-provided router/ONT combo box.


As someone who had considered a similar setup, what model of edgerouter? Would you consider doing a writeup? What kind of speeds did you achieve?


I get line speed with the Ubiquiti software installed.

Here's a writeup I did last year but it doesn't touch on OpenBSD: https://0x85.org/ubiquiti.html

I'm mostly over BSD in general. I don't know why, given that Debian exists and performs much better, I'd reach for BSD unless it had support for some esoteric hardware that Linux doesn't support.
