That is not why I brought attention to this partnership. It was to point out that DDG was still willing to associate with and partner with Brave. Folks who are hyper-opposed to supporting Brave due to their CEO may not know this.

Unsure if this is still the case today, but FYI: https://brave.com/brave-and-duckduckgo-partner-to-improve-privacy-on-the-web/
There is no double nat. Passthrough mode has worked as expected for me. The one issue I have is that the RG will maintain firewall states, so it limits you to the RG hardware for those states. I have a pretty large home network though, tons of devices, IoT, etc, and it has been stable.
Latency seems decent. I have an AT&T fiber 2gb symmetrical connection and a ping to google from my Netgate pfSense machine is around 10-15ms.
I used Plex for years, and it is the superior product (if you pay) compared to Open Source alternatives. However, after seeing Plex’s recent incentive pivots and looking for investors I jumped shipped to Jellyfin. The thermometor of enshittification is indicating that Plex is on its way out.
Folks who haven’t looked at alternatives yet, do so now.
I have the same Residental Gateway. Using pfSense+ on my end. The BGW320-500 is fiber capable. I assume you’re using fiber? If so you cannot hook it into ONT because the RG is the ONT. In my case I get raw fiber into a PON module that hooks into the RG. Best you can do in this case is set the RG to “passthrough mode” via web UI (192.168.1.254).
If you have a different setup that is not fiber maybe you’ll have more luck with a bypass, but I think you will need the RG regardless for auth: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/authbridge.html
I was wondering the same thing. Maybe in the USA it is easier due to our relaxed (almost non-existent) business oversight from the government? Not sure.
