Hello, we're looking people to help us test our Nmap as a Service.

What kind of border device are you envisioning? Are we talking about literally anything down to a LinkSys WRT3200ACM running OpenWRT, or do you want to monitor more pro devices such as a dedicated server running OpenBSD+OPNsense?

Right now, we're monitoring our home networks (Eero, LinkSys, Netgate PFSense) and our own BGP router for our network AS46733.

We also monitor one of our OpenBSD servers (http://23.165.136.132/), but it's not running OPNSense.
