Outbreak is over and we are on for Monday

To continue the home networking series we'll be showing how a raspberry pi is a terrible choice for a router, and using commodity hardware with an actual network adapter is the key to a secure and stable network. I will be demoing OPNSense rather than PFSense and highlighting the differences between both, as well as showing off what a raspberry pi CAN be used for to help secure your network.

Date: Monday, Feburary 4th 2019 - 7 PM
Location: Applewood Manor
1500 Lansdowne Street West, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

Good evening.  Just saw the notice for the meeting on Monday and we will be traveling to Peterborough to attend.  Weather looks fairly good also. Thanks.

I was talking to Trevor in Metro about his experiences in the north, and his present work - fascinating.

He may be joining us, which would be great. 
Growing up from childhood and becoming an adult is highly overrated.

Thanks for an interesting and useful presentation, Brian!

I don't know that I need all the cabilities that OPNsense has but it's cool to know the option is there. I think if I was running a local media server or other features than just using it as a router, I'd probably go for it. I'm definitely going to try out as a VM to find out the extent of its capabilities.
