Pfsense does sell official hardware the Netgate SG-3100 (1000 series is not recommended) $350us. 6x Gbe, 2x Arm Cpu cores, 2Gb Ram, 8Gb Ssd, pfsense pre-installed, 1x USB3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pfsense also sells the PcEngine APU2 (branded Netgate) $378us. 3x Gbe, 2x cpu, 2Gb ram, 30Gb Ssd if you need to store logs. May have free conventional Sata, 1x M.2 and 2x PCIe sockets. Apparently a popular choice, out of stock for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These boxes come pre-installed with PfSense firewall but the beauty of open source is you can run whatever fits your needs. OpnSense does not require AES-NI hardware, IpFire can run on Raspberry Pi 3 (not fast) or other ARM hardware. Untangle is Freemium; the advanced features cost $ FreeBsd is supposed to work with any board that support U-Boot, Pine Rock64 is the only SBC I know of that qualifies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

repurposed a Lanner 75xx box (was AppNeta M25) as an OpnSense firewall. has internal CF card storage which can have OpnSense nano version written to it. Boots, requests a DHCP address with OpnSense as the reported OS. Ran out of testing time, Could NOT find the interneal interface \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n
