- Cat-5 in my apartment wall from my ISP.
- ISP provided router that splits out IPTV into my TV box and has one port as passthrough to my pfsense box. It should be possible to do this splitting in pfsense but I never managed.
- The pfsense box is a passive ITX machine with a Celeron N3350 and two intel NICs.
- A dumb gigabit switch is connected to the LAN side of the pfsense box.
- I run ethernet to my stationary machines.
- A Ubiquiti access point feeds the wifi.
This setup has worked pretty much flawlessly for two years.
If I was goinig to do it again I would install OpenBSD instead of pfsense on the box. I didn't like the political drama around pfsense the last few years and I hardly use any of the features. I just want something that never breaks and has few foot-guns.
