It's all well and good to hate on pfSense for VOIP issues, and there's 
workarounds, but is there any equivalent alternative with an accessible user 
interface for when you just want to make things work, without having to learn 
yet ANOTHER domain specific language?

I can't see my users getting over 200mbit for any connection I can justify in 
the near future (mumble mumble NBNco) ... so even 2Gbps is hilariously 
over-capable.

VYOS - "VyOS generally boots pretty quickly, at least with a simple config.  37 
seconds from starting the VM to routing packets.  That’s also with the 
bootloader timeout."
pfSense - "Not fast, 37 seconds with a few seconds at the bootloader."

... is 37 seconds fast or not? :)
