For 100 MBit/s firewall all you need is Raspberry PI. Most people’s WAN connection is probably less than that. And if you need gigabit then there’s still plenty of options, anything from ODROID-C to 10W Goldmont, the latter a little expensive but it can double as HTPC etc. Idk how any of those work with BSDs but they work fine on Linux.
Also the nic.cz people have a neat new product[1]. It’s really cool, but I think still too pricey.

- fulafel 8y agoRPi systems die too frequently unless you get the right kind of sd cards and power adapters.
- sp332 8y agoLast I checked pfsense wasn't running on ARM. And there were worries that it wouldn't even be able to keep up unless you were very careful with your filters, although that might be less of a problem with the more recent hardware.
- deno 8y agoI suppose at gigabit the pi might have some issues. Unfortunately, I don’t have this problem. I doubt Goldmont would break any sweat though. If you don’t want to jump all the way to Intel there’s always this: http://espressobin.net/ http://espressobin.net/
