New to pfsense - Hardware advice?
-
Hello all,
I am new to pfsense. I'd like to buy a small fanless system for my home.
I found this:
http://www.dxsoul.com/product/intel-celeron-j1900-quad-core-mini-desktop-computer-w-usb3-0-rj45-1080p-hdmi-black-901384049#.VnteaN9yukB
I was wondering if this is a good option.
I may be running some traffic through a vpn using openvpn in the near future.
any recommendations on amount of ram and storage as well?Thanks

Tell us first your WAN speed and the total amount of users in your network please!
(Speed of your Internet connection)I may be running some traffic through a vpn using openvpn in the near future.
Ok and what throughput you are needing or awaiting?
any recommendations on amount of ram and storage as well?
Because it is cheap, and really powerful I would go by 4 GB - 8 GB (RAM) and 32 GB - 64 GB storage (mSATA)
might by also related how many and what kind of packets you will be installing or using and what services you
will be offering in your network. Or how great is your network (users). -
WAN is around 10mbps
As far as users and devices.
1-5 users
4-10 devices
2-4 on lan rest on wlanAlso if there are any other fanless budget options I might consider?

Might be a little to much in price but pfSense is running on it.

I am new to pfSense, but built my system on this hardware …

It's been rock solid, only consuming 6w of power.

It´s a PC Engines APU1D4 board and really fine for pfSense, but now one month before the upgrade Board APU2
is coming out, I would more tending to wait this month or two, to get my hands on the APU2B4 board with;- ECC RAM
- AES-NI support
- Intel NIC based LAN Ports
- Quad CPU Cores @1,0GHz
- same case and dimensions
