Just to add to my insane home networking difficulties, right now I am online, all clients are working / routing to the internet. Can I connect to OPNsense via HTTP or SSH? Nope. The box just ignores me. I can log in locally and all is fine. WTF? I started a radio stream as a "test" and now poking around, some stuff loads, some doesn't, like 1/2 the internet is out. WTF? (again)

alrighty folks! time to install the new network box!
Will see if I can fully replace the Telus router (white roundish tower thing on the top shelf) with the asus router.
there will definitely be interruptions in internet to this mstdn account, as well as to the alberniweather blog.
It would be nice if it preserves my ip address, and not need a ddns update but I doubt I will be that lucky.
See you on the flip side! I will post updates from @…

This made it through multiple levels and multiple rounds of design and marketing approval.
At no point did anyone stop and think?
Really? This is the design we're going with?
Not one person who had any rudimentary internet skills.
Not one hero in one meeting had even the one ounce of temerity or one gram of courage to stand up and say
HEY - THE HAND ON THE LEFT IS SUPPOSED TO BE WEARING A RING.
