RaspberryPi model 2 6x the power for running pfsense on
-
@gonzopancho:
We have pfSense running on the BBB internally.
(If you've not noticed: http://store.netgate.com/BeagleBoneBlack.aspx)That is very interesting. I've been hoping to find something like that (I'm intrigued by the ODROID) to be a travel router that can OpenVPN back to my home pfsense.

I heard today that they will be releasing a version of pfsense in the next few days that will be compatible with the RaspberryPi and other arm devices.

Good. Hoping to max out my USB Gbit dongle… The alphas were not really stable above 500Mbps... plus some strange smoke around the box. :o

"Next few days" apparently kejiashi knows more than I do about the engineering schedule.
I don't think I own an rPI. I own several hundred BBB. Take from that what you will.

Since its no longer April 1st, I need to recant my former BS post about pfsense supporting ARM - haha.
Maybe in a decade (-:

Despite reading fake news stories all day yesterday I confess you totally got me with this. ::)

I tied for low key. Hope it wasn't too irritating to the serious folks. (-:
Maybe if we are lucky it might even happen eventually. haha

It already runs, it's just not released. Waiting to officially roll from PBIs to pkg(ng).
I told you yesterday that I own several hundred BBB (they're for sale, but I've paid for them).

Good luck with the BBBs.

I too, am interested in running pfsense on a Pi2, but was thinking of connecting a ENC28J60, maybe two, to avoid the on-board NIC concerns, I exclusively use 3G for my web access, so throughput isn't likely to be a problem. I also live on a boat with no shore power, so power consumption is kept to a minimum.

Ah! Well you have a fairly unusual requirement then. Not unique though. Ask Phil who operates a network of mostly solar powered pfSense boxes. Most of them ALIX boxes. You can probably find one second hand for very little and they use <5W.
