      Hi everyone,

      Been a pfSense user for a while at both my home and at customer sites.  I'm currently a using a Alix 2D3 and planning on upgrading my connection to a 150/20Mbps connection.  I've read that the 2D3 can only switch ~85Mbps ( http://bit.ly/1x0UnlG ).

      With the consideration that I trying to do this as cheaply as possible - can anyone recommend a set up that can switch a 150/20 connection?

      Thanks,
      -Ian

        If you're talking about simple Firewall+NAT then an Atom or better will be able to handle that.

        I can break anything.

            Yes, what packages, if any, are you wanting to run? VPN? Noise or power consumption a concern?
