                  My pfSense rebuild

                  This is my rebuilt pfSense / network after moving to a new location/apartment and rejigging the complete network structure.

                  It's an older Atom C2558 with 6 1Gbps Intel NICs and 8GB RAM. Multiple VLANs (on the gray line), Lab VLAN (blue one), decicated management (black) and LAN (green). Uplinks are white. Same scheme on the Unifi Switches. WiFi uses Radius-based VLANs with FreeRadius running on pfSense, switches are using Mac-Auth 802.1x to allow/deny/map appropriate VLAN on the ports. The small ones above the "sense" are 3x Raspi 3B+ and below a BackUPS attached via USB to pfSense with the NUT package.

                  That's the final shot of the build, the whole thing (in german) was documented/detailed in this Thread

                  Don't forget to upvote 👍 those who kindly offered their time and brainpower to help you!

                  If you're interested, I'm available to discuss details of German-speaking paid support (for companies) if needed.

                          Finally finished my pfSense router/firewall box:

                          • Intel Pentium Gold G6400 4GHz CPU
                          • Asus B460 motherboard
                          • 2x8GB Corsair DDR4
                          • Corsair 550W PSU
                          • Samsung EVO 970 250GB nvme SSD
                          • 3 x Intel CT gigabit desktop adapters
                          • 1 x 3com 905C PCI network adapter

                          It has WAN,LAN,DMZ and WLAN networks

                          3com card services WLAN p2p link it being only 100mbps card it is perfect for the job :)

                          Onboard intel ethernet as of current pfSense release is not supported it will serve future expansion needs.

                          Half the components are somewhat overkill for the job however it is there incase i want to repurpose it at some point.

                          With powersave options enabled in bios and in software it uses 15 watts of power according to APC UPS power meter, which is better than what i imagined it would be.

                          This router/firewall project started because my OpenWRT router only managed to handle 40mbps so now i should be futureproof when i upgrade to gigabit internet.

                                  The chassis is an Akasa Euler meant specifically for Supermicro A1SAi/A1SRi. I was naive to think the block heatsink would fit the X10SBA. It does not. It was bought to build an HTPC.

                                  I hoped to find a compatible mobo at a decent price but those two models are vere expensive. The box is open since the SOC relies on its OEM heatsink instead of the massive block of the Euler.
