    I used OpnSense, OpenWRT and PFsense. Can’t really complain for home lab. But OpenWRT should not be used as a full UTM FW. It is more of a router and AccessPoint software. OpnSense and PFsense are both good options. Where OpnSense goes more into UTM FW with Plugins IDS/IPS stuff. I used PFsense only for IP based filtering but I know it can do more than that.

        I use OpnSense with Suricata and CrowdSec for that kind of job. But nothing works out of the box in that segment. You have to learn how to setup your environment for your requirements. There a many tutorials and forums, you just have to dig around and find what you need.
