Hello home lab community. I currently use Ubiquiti Edgerouter X as my home firewall/router. Had it for about 6 years. Love it and still wirks. It sits between ATT Fiber Modem and my Cisco 4500X 10G switch. I just acquired a Cisco ASA 5555 with perpetual licenses (VPN Premium, Encryption-3DES-AES, etc.) Being a Cisco guy myself, I wanted to get the community opinion about using Cisco ASA as home firewall and if anyone does uses it to share their experience.

Edit: Open thought of maybe putting the Opensense/Suricata before ASA and use as IPS/IDS pre-filter system since ASA EOL is 2023. This way the Opensense is the up-to-date protection between Internet and home network.

Thanks everyone.
