Sure, I’ve tried it but honestly there wasn’t much difference. I use pfsense because its what I started with. I imagine if you started with opnsense it would be the same thing. I use pfsense+ licensing for all the routers at work and that makes the higher ups happy that its has commercial support if needed.
Tried that for awhile at home, just didn’t seem as robust. Also, you can get Netgate hardware if the company doesn’t want a 10-yo Dell running the edge.
Bought some of the higher end negate routers for work. 1u rack mount. Five locations all linked with fail over tunnels. I run our filter and monitoring on them as well . Pfblockng works great for general purpose filtering. When you filter porn you really need a lot of ram. The intel boards they have are a little finicky on the type of SFP you can install but other than that they work great.
OPNsense is also a viable alternative.

Running a 1U work gave me! Haven’t messed with it much, just works.
