<h2 id=summary>Summary</h2>
<p>It is fairly simple to setup a router with pfSense from within a Virtual Machine. A physical dedicated routing machine is not necessary and often does not perform as well as software running on faster and more reliable hardware. So far, pfSense has been running for over a week without a single hiccup. pfSense is a mature piece of software that is incredibly powerful and flexible. To avoid so me of the instability I experienced with OpenWrt, I enabled automatically <a href=https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/autoconfigbackup.html>AutoConfigBackup</a>, which is capable of automatically backing up configuration upon every change. A plan to explore and experiment with more services and configuration in the future, and the ability to track all of these changes gives me the piece of mind that experimentation is safe.</p>
