Are there prior projects that have the Linux kernel with a "FreeBSD userland"? This is the first time I'm hearing of such an idea. What would that entail? This report isn't particularly clear on such technical details.

Maybe we’ll see decent PPPoE performance from PFSense in the future then - had to move to OpenWrt as PFSense has a single threaded implementation
I associate PPPoE with dial up modems. What is the use case of this today? Also, PPPoE has been around for a quarter century: why hasn't FreeBSD delivered on it? And how is a single thread not enough to fill a broadband pipe? So many questions. So DSL and maybe Fiber services. Ok, but ISPs provide or endorse some device to deal with the wire. At that point you're free to firewall your ordinary ethernet traffic with w…

No matter what switches I toggled or incantations I recited I would not get full line speed.
Looks like I made the right choice switching to OPNsense a couple months ago.
When I was first looking for something to run at home I looked into them and frankly they are bad actors and should not be trusted.

You mean aside from the complete lack of professionalism from Netgate \ pfSense? When I was first looking for something to run at home I looked into them and frankly they are bad actors and should not be trusted.
I ran pfSense ages ago, well before the OPNsense fork, and I'd like to go back to one or the other for my home network but haven't had time to research the current situation. Wouldn't mind hearing from those more familiar.
