One of the troublesome things about the Z83 machines is that while it supports 64bit Operating Systems, it uses 32bit UEFI. Pi Hole was originally designed for use on a Raspberry Pi, but that seemed unnecessary since I already had a low-power device capable of running it. So my Mini PC started gathering dust… until I decided to repurpose it as a Pi Hole. At the time there was a bug in OPNsense which I couldn’t work around with the configuration I was using, so I was forced to give up on that. This actually worked out great for a while (I highly recommend this solution over more expensive routers), but some time afterwards my ISP started requiring responses to ICMP echoes which my firewall blocked by default.
