      Hello Everyone,

      I need to replace my pfsense hardware for a bigger thing.

      Anyone can recommend me on hardware for this;

      pfsense x64 2.0.1
      Traffic shaper with limiter and L7
      Lusca cache on a SSD raid
      squidguard
      5-15 openvpn users
      approx 800 internet users

      anyone has tried this on some HP ProLiant DL385 G7 or G6 ?

      Thanks!

        Pfsense works very well on these boxes! and even as a VM!

        Kind Regards,
        Craig

          Anything really will work but try to go Intel for better compatibility. I would go for something with dual redundant PSUs too. You wouldn't need that much CPU power either so even something 2nd hand could do the trick.

          Personaly I use Supermicro as I find them to be very reliable and well engineered. maybe look at a 1u socket 1156 or 1155 server?
