If you’re using the forwarding subdomain emails for privacy reasons yes a separate domain would make more sense. It’s pretty obvious to tie your TLD to your forwarding subdomain. Either way use whois privacy for your domain registration.

I use 2 separate domains for this reason.

thanks. I definitely didn’t realize that. will continue troubleshooting

Are you running rootless? I realized I didn’t include that in op

Unprivileged

I run opnsense in proxmox for a couple reasons. 1) I can snapshot the VM prior to upgrading, in case of an issue I can just rollback. 2) backups, I can backup the whole VM, which includes all the plugins, Not just the base opnsense config. 3) I don’t run anything on bare metal except my laptop.

This comment makes me sad. But I also feel like I’ve seen this. I honestly don’t know where the hate for FOSS comes from. Has this person that hates FOSS ever explained their hatred? Genuinely curious how someone could hate options.
