For remote site pfsense acts as OpenVPN client (this can be challenging to setup on consumer router) and connects to ASUS OpenVPN server, pfSense also provides a separate OpenVPN server which I can connect my mobile to check cameras etc. I have both ASUS and pfSense because I have two sites. I don’t regret getting pfSense, just it isn’t as sensible a choice as a router which provides free updates for vulnerabilities and I have found that to be the case with my ASUS router. Consumer Routers with built in firewalls solve the problem for 99% of people, and take significantly less effort to setup properly. If you have a super fast internet connection you might need to buy into the very expensive tier routers to have enough CPU. If you are already comfortable with iptables, you’re starting with more knowledge I had, but for most of what you want to do a $100 ASUS router would be sufficient (it can host OpenVPN endpoint for connection from your mobile for example, and supports blacklist site lists to keep kids safer and secure).
