2nd vote for an SG-5100.

What are the specs on it? Is it even x86? Steve

@alpineaudio said in pfSense hardware selection help: @akuma1x said in pfSense hardware selection help: firewall black-boxes and more specific, this one's an i5 https://www.amazon.com/QOTOM-Q355G4-Factory-Firewall-Multi-Function-Appliance/dp/B06XNWLR3J/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_2?keywords=pfsense+firewall+black-boxes+i5&qid=1553882807&s=gateway&sr=8-2-fkmr2 This one is a much better choice! I'm going to get up on my soap box here... keep in mind, you should try to support the pfsense open source project as much as you can. With the Qotom box you found, you're only about $60 away from the "official" Netgate SG-3100 box. I'm not trying to guilt you into a purchase, and I'm not saying you're going to get a better experience with name-brand or not, but being that close in price, I would send my money to Netgate and the firewall project itself.

Like an i3-8100t? Then yes. Easily. Steve

Hmm, well if you use Squid/Squidguard to do web filtering I would want to see 2 cores there really, at least. Steve
