        Short answer: no. 😉

        pfSense CE is x86-64 only so it cannot be installed on ARM.

        We do have some ARM factory devices but that required a specific image for each device. There would be significant development work required to make pfSense run on that. Without at least 2 PCIe connected Ethernet devices it doesn't make a very good target anyway.
