Raspbery Pi 4 B
-
So the new Pi has been released with impresive Specs, USB3, and Gigabit Ethernet (Not using USB bus?).
Is anyone going to try using PFSense with this hardware? im interested in downsizing my hardware.

There have been several threads about it already here, on Reddit, on twitter. It doesn't support FreeBSD yet, let alone pfSense. And pfSense doesn't (officially) run on the older Pis either. There are some experimental builds but nothing that would be anywhere close to a release.

So maybe in the future, but it won't magically appear days after the release announcement.

Be interesting to see a throughput figure with the non-USB NIC. I've not seen one yet.

a benchmark online rates it at 949mb/s clsoe to the theoreical limit.

Ah so full line rate. Nice. You have a link to that test?

It's not full line rate unless that is small packets. Mb/sec is pretty meaningless without pps.
