grestyle.blogg.se - Pfsense router hardware

Currently atomic pi x86 with a usb seems to be the way forward but I am open to any other suggestions including ARM based ones.Īt the end of the day I want a reliable pfsense router with at least 2x gbe ports, 1-2 usb 3.0 (4g failover / usb to eth) that can do 500mbps OpenVpn, 1Gbps routing and support next 5yrs of pfsense updates at $50.

There's also that really good DFI DT122 but that's over a $100 too. I've seen RPi4 discussed but discouraged due to low power CPU. These would disrupt the network appliance market if they had 2 i211AT NICs (barely costing $5 extra). The atomic pi x86 and rock pi x are game changers at $35 and $39 respectively. SBCs start as cheap as $5 and you can get actually great specs for the the money you pay. Netgate appliances: I understand you fund pfsense development from the money you get by selling your hardware, but c'mon!!.The more modern AES-NI variants start at $150. Industrial PCs/miniPCs: Chinese insdustrial mini PCs from qotom/yinling or whatever are purpose built for this but even these start at $100 and the have that shitty j1900.Used market in our country is worse, they ask for $70 for a pentium 4 or core 2 duo trash and the listings themselves are shady.

Please provide any cheaper listings links directly or keywords to search for. To make it worse all the ebay listings I have found at least want $50-70 to ship to my country.

The cheapest SFFs with AES-NI are at least $100, adding a used NIC will push the price close to $100.

Used computers and NICs: The usual hp 620 thin clients don't have aes-ni.

I have looked at other threads and they're all so close to what I need yet so far.
