      I am using Fanless PC which has a VGA port, Network Ports and 2 USB ports. The issue I face is, I have only a laptop with me. No keyboard or monitor for pfsense installation. Is there any way, I could use my laptop for the installation of Pfsense on the Mini PC Hardware ?

        A router / firewall needs at least 2 NIC's.
        One NIC might do, if your ok with VLAN setup, and a managed swtch.

        ?
        A laptop is just perfect of beeing a keyboard / screen for pfSense. A USB port will do.

          Mmm, you need a serial console on it to use a laptop. Otherwise you need a keyboard/monitor.
