So i’ll most likely be moving soon to a house that has fiber to the home. I’ve never used PFSense before but i would really like to. How exactly does this work with FTTH? Do you need a computer/nic that has a fiber connection?

I’m honestly confused on the whole setup of PFSense in general. Is it possible to use it with everY ISP? What about like your ISP’s network settings that are all preset in the default router they give you?

Or do people keep the ISP modem and then put PFSense behind it as a router? Does that work?

Any help is much appreciated.
