I too, got memed into thinking OPNsense was easy to install, get running.

I got it finally working, and due to sunk cost falacy, I'll probably never change but fuck me there is some learning curves.

Getting my x710-da2 to work at 10gig speeds properly, requires me to force update the (1) pic related variables after each and every update. If not I get cucked iperf3 speeds even if the values are the "same" after every update. The kernel for some capricious reason stealth resets them to cucked values. I've can prove this scientifically with iperf3 results by just changing the value, click apply, then change it back to the correct value, click apply and voila I get 10 gig speeds again.

I also had to add like 30+ tuneable values to uncuck the 10gig x710-da2 ports like pic in (2). Most are from reddit (sigh) and other tech bros figuring this out with trial and error.

If you point this out on their forums they just soi-post about do you REALLY need 10 gig routing, and the x710 is not a "mainstream card" or "you should buy a commercial grade router to get 10 gig routing" and not use a x710, blah, blah blah

If I had to go back, I would have just went OPENwrt, but I am pregnant now.
