Got mine up and running this week and it has been awesome so far.
I haven't had time to test VPN speeds, but it is a solid internet gateway

I'm trying to set a t620+ with Opnsense, but I can't figure out the installation process at all, I used a Ventoy usb to copy the images to. I'm lost after this. After choosing Opnsense image from Ventoy boot menu I get to a <mountroot> prompt not mentionned anywhere in the installation instructions on Opnsense website, I should be looking at a login screen instead according to them, what do I need to do with this? I'm trying to install to the internal m.2 ssd. I'm extra-noob to BSD. Can someone help?

Boot fails at "Trying to mount root"

@chuck5761: @wallabybob: The boot doesn't seem to have detected your drive. … In what mode does the BIOS initialise the disk controllers? I'm not followin...

Sounds like it's not recognizing the drive so you may have to get into the BIOS and make some changes. Not familiar with this hardware or opnsense (that much) so I'll not venture any guesses.

Try setting boot to legacy in the bios
