Questions about home network

HBFA5N1

I have some general questions about pfSense:

Can you configure via the webGUI to use Tor (instead of a VPN)? If not, will it be easy to transfer all traffic to the tor client SOCKS (I have basic Debian experience).
I want to fully control my home network. This means that I want to white list machines based on their MAC (beside the normal WPA password etc. it's purely for human control and not technical security), is this possible (via the webGUI)?
I want to manage internet speeds per device (or network) to the outside. Can I for example give my own Desktop atleast 90% of the 20Mbps to the outside and other machines less? This is one of the key factors why I'm thinking about pfSense (or another system in between).
Is it a good idea to place Wireless cards inside my PfSense box (which means it will be both a firewall and WiFi AP)?
What hardware should be applicable for a 1000Mbps internal network with about 20 devices (Laptops/PC's/Phones)? Core i3? Core i5?
I'm thinking about a NAS system to put in front of the pfSense box.

Though I am new to pfsense, or rather firewall, I had similar questions.

With my experience with pfsense for last couple of months, I am trying to answer in my own way.

Confiigure dhcp service and allocate static address based on mac addresses per device, disallow unknown devices. All thru webgui.

Steps –1) Create firewall rule that your lan network traffic only to your pfsense box. 2) configure limiter on per device basis. ( on you tube, you will get plenty video's how to set this )

Is it a good idea to place Wireless cards inside my PfSense box (which means it will be both a firewall and WiFi AP)? **No it is not a good idea as a very few internal wireless cards are compatible to pfsense. Best is to use standard wireless router without routing. **

What hardware should be applicable for a 1000Mbps internal network with about 20 devices (Laptops/PC's/Phones)? Core i3? Core i5? – . **Standard core2duo with 2gb and a pair of intel based lan card of 1gb is more than sufficient for the purpose ( Actually I am using this setup for 50 + devices with no issues. ) **

Best of luck !!!
