Hardware wise, I run Ubiquiti EdgeMAX but I wouldn't recommend them anymore, their software has gone down hill since many of their best developers left.

Software wise, pfSense is where it's at, but I don't have experience with their own hardware other than the ones we ran at work all failed due to a silicon flaw in the Intel SoCs they ran.

> Ubiquiti EdgeMAX but I wouldn't recommend them anymore

Sadly there isn't exactly a lot of alternatives in the hobbyist network setup area ... It's basically just ubiquity and mikrotik at this point as far as I know

I've heard good things about Turris hardware too, but no personal experience. https://www.turris.com/en/omnia/overview/

Recent events suggest that the people behind pfSense are not especially responsible stewards; see https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/03/buffer-overruns-lice... and https://opnsense.org/opnsense-com/ .
