Hi everone, basically what the title says. I am just starting my homelab and I am somewhat conflicted on whether I should run Opensense in Proxmox or should I buy a n100 device dedicated for it. What are some of the pros and cons of doind either or. So far in my research I have only come across articles/forum posts explaining how to run Opensense in Proxmox.

You want it to be as simple as possible, to be as secure as possible.
Adding proxmox - or any abstraction layer - is now adding more layers that have potential security issues.
And everyone is scanning your IP for vulnerabilities 24/7.
Plus, in my case, I want a completely separate network for Guest Wifi, IoT, etc and only some stuff hitting the LAN / homelab.
