      Hi!

      I've tried pfsense couple of times but now one year put it off because problems with Dovado Pro bridged mode.

      Now I have a plan to get rid of Dovado Pro and get one pc for wan connection and firewall / squid / etc solutions.

      So my question is…:

      I have a plan to buy that HP microserver (HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen8) and use my Huawei E3372 (fw 22.286.03.00.17) stick but I do not know that does pfsense accept this stick and get a good speed or what should I do?

      Can I get better performance for installing ubuntu & virtualbox and running that Huawei with ubuntu and firewall solution with virtualbox&ubuntu?

      Or what you suggest? Thx for advance...

      Hmm... If "wan" could be usb-port Huawei..then I could also use f.e. Intel Nuc with one Lan only?

        You can pretty much buy any random pfSense box (with AES-NI as it will be required) and it will work. Don't buy a server, that's just burning money and power.

          Or do you have any good suggestions?

            Don't get that APU, it has no AES-NI. This one is good: https://store.netgate.com/SG-2220.aspx but out of stock for a few months. You can get a Qotom box (see the Qotom thread) or the more expensive: https://store.netgate.com/SG-2440.aspx they are all good.

              Yes, you can use it, just search my posts for the example. Note that with 22.X firmware your modem acts as a NAT router.

                wrong, APU HAS AES-NI
