Hi everone, basically what the title says. I am just starting my homelab and I am somewhat conflicted on whether I should run Opensense in Proxmox or should I buy a n100 device dedicated for it. What are some of the pros and cons of doind either or. So far in my research I have only come across articles/forum posts explaining how to run Opensense in Proxmox.

I followed this guide and have had zero issues. I had to do it this way because Opnsense didn’t natively support my 10g NIC. I have Proxmox handle the hardware side of things and pass through a virtualized card to Opnsense (albeit with slightly reduced performance).
