You were dependant on Cisco and Juniper routers whilst you posted this very message.

I've used the mess called Quagga back in '00s. No, thank you. I did like OpenBGPd, but it isn't a necessity to have BGP support on every router. Linux can be suffice on a router. Even though I do prefer PF, nftables seems promising.

I don't want to use x86-32 for a myriad of reasons. I don't need the software compatibility x86-32 offers.

I don't think so, i have my own fortress :)

You don't have control over every hop between news.ycombinator.com and whatever it is you are located. Lets stop this game.

Yeah, and? There's HTTPS between my browser and news.ycombinator.com as well. So what does that have to do with my ER-L?

There's no need to link to Wikipedia's HTTPS either. We both know what that is.

FYI: The malware you linked was for older or badly configured versions of those routers. If you don't upgrade OPNSense or Linux/BSD in general you're also in trouble.

There is a HTTPS, between HN and me. "HTTPS creates a secure channel over an insecure network. This ensures reasonable protection from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle attacks ..."
