      Hi all,
      I am a newbie when it comes to networking, so please excuse me. I need to install a pf box that is an old pc with the firmware on it to use as mentioned to distribute the balance on the 2 internet lines from different ISPs then use it as a router and a firewall. I watched many tutorials on pfsense, yet can't find one for an application like this. I will use an old computer case for my installation. If you please advise me with the network card to use for this as well as how to with the setup or at least where to find a guide.
      Thank you for reading :)

        Plenty of threads and a whole category on the subject.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
