    OPNSense Hardware - best option in 2020?

    Running pfsense here.. I originally picked up an i3 6100 Dell SFF with 4G RAM/HDD for £75 (eBay) runs absolutely fine, that's with FTTP, 10+ VLANs, Suricatta & OpenVPN. I also installed a cheap SSD 48/64GB for boot.

    Mattresses - I need knowledge

    After discussing my back issues/weight/height JRBD recommended the pocket 1500 but i opted for the slightly more expensive artisan 1500 in 2015. My mattress had a 'smell' to it which was perfectly normal so I left the mattress in my spare room for a couple weeks to 'air' before using it. I kept...

    made to measure work tops for desk

    I actually trimmed it down with a plunge-saw and the excess is to be used as either multiple shelves or one long 2M shelf. Still in the building process will be using meranti for the legs and iroko looks fab!

    made to measure work tops for desk

    +1 for worktop express. I bought Iroko Wooden Worktop 2M X 960mm X 40mm for my computer desk recently. 40mm was overkill & its bloody heavy!

    pfSense, smoothwall or something else I haven't heard of yet?

    pfSense with an intel i3 will exceed 1Gbit of throughput easily. Make sure you install a quality NIC intel based NICs are well supported. Pf 2.2.6 is based on FreeBSD 10.1 so you can check for chipset support via the official site.
