pfSense stops working after some time: no buffer space available
-
@DaddyGo I understand. This is my motherboard: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570%20Phantom%20Gaming-ITXTB3/index.asp. I am using the one 1 PCIe for the GPU. Since this mobo has a Thunderbolt 3 I was thinking about using a Thunderbolt PCIe expansion chassis and then installing a PCIe network card. Any thoughts?

@DaddyGo I am in Italy and there is not a lot of resellers here. I'd go for the https://www.netgate.com/solutions/pfsense/sg-3100.html because I have a 1Gbps WAN link, but can't find where to buy it. It's a pitty Netgate products are not on Amazon.it.

I live here not far from you and there are many opportunities to get good hardware

Any thoughts?Try to think about dedicated hardware, when you building a firewall and consider the needs of your own system.
These miniITX things are good too, but not my favorites.
Consider consumption, as a firewall operates 24 hours a day. (SOHO)
Don't want to run other things on the "iron" where pfSense is running!Thunderbolt is not a good starting point either
edit: From the fact that you are going to put a PCIe NIC in an external adapter, even the OP system has to handle Thunderbolt.
This is the same as the USB issue. -
@DaddyGo Thanks for al the thoughts. I will keep using my appliance until I save enough money to buy the Netgate official hardware.

That's a good idea! (Temporarily
)
Get the GPU out of the miniITX and buy an Intel I350-T4 NIC, you'll have great fun in pfSense. THX

On the other hand, I thought about using that Thunderbolt expansion to move the GPU there, and free the PCIe socket to the card you mentioned.

I haven't reviewed the description of this miniITX, is there a serial port on the motherboard?
Don't forget to install pfSense through the console as well, thus not a requirement VGA or any VIDEO driver

@fabiolanza I contacted the seller/company that confirmed the chipset was Intel made. I am waiting for them to list more so I can purchase.
