        System on Chip

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_on_a_chip

        Its got everything built in (CPU + motherboard). In this case and most (if not all) SoC's are non-socketed and passively cooled.

          WAN is 2 x VDSL @ ~50mbbps each (1: TalkTalk Biz and 2: Zen)

          • APU2C4 ~250 Euro
          • Jetway NF9HG-2930 ~350 Euro

          pfSense SG-2440 units:
          UK direct:
          SG-2440 on Amazon.co.uk
          SG-2440 on Amicatech.co.uk
          DE direct:
          SG-2440 on Voleatech.de
          FR direct:
          SG-2440 on Viatitude.fr

          So you will see, you might be able to buy that SG-2440 as an example directly in the UK or from Germany or France directly, there
          will be no one pressing you to order in the USA.

            £105

            Seems decent.

            For me, i just built mine on an AMD APU-5000 inbuilt onto an ITX Motherboard, Threw in a Dual Port NIC i was laughing, cost me pennies for the pleasure.

              Hi

              I'm running an APU2C4 on a 300mbps link. I'm running Snort, Squid, Squidguard and lightsquid.

              There's often 3 of us watching Netflix or Amazon or streaming some other media - including 4k, or a mix of that and online gaming.

              The only time it struggled was with AV turned on, otherwise it's normally running fine without stressing the CPU or memory. It's such a tiny box, it's easy to keep out of the way, does get warm though :)
