when installing pfSense the install will destroy any previouse OS including Windows.ģ. The Intel i5 will work very nicely with pfSenseĢ. Are there "cost effective” NIC's that might be appropriate for my application?1. I can find some lower cost NIC's (such as TP-Link TG-3468) but am leery of performance. They are an important component in the solution and can obviously impact throughput however the cost of some NIC's, plus the cost of a PC can add up to approach the cost of a Netgate 1100. Would repurposed/reconditioned PC's with Intel i5 CPU’s be acceptable?ģ) "high quality" NIC's (with Intel chips) are recommended. ) The pfSense documentation seems to prefer AMD processors.

Would repurposed/reconditioned PC's with Intel i5 CPU’s be acceptable?Ģ) Does the pfSense installation replace the Windows OS or does it reside with it?ģ) "high quality" NIC's (with Intel chips) are recommended. I am not a "network" guy but don't think a DYI solution is beyond my abilities (allowing for a learning curve).ġ) The pfSense documentation seems to prefer AMD processors. I understand there are a couple of options such as buying an all-in-one solution like a Netgate 1100 although the cost is somewhat high.Īlternatively, a DIY solution might be less expensive albeit more effort (frustration ?). I have a 500Mb/s fiber internet connection with my ISP.
Looking to restrict some devices from the internet (security cameras and NAS storage) while providing home use desktop and WiFi laptops with internet access (no gaming or massive data downloads required). I am looking at improving my home network security and pfSense has been recommended on another forum.
