      HERe is the current plan. Someone is donating an older pc to me. I’ll get that and throw another network card in it and play around and see what speeds I can get. What nic should I look out for? Assuming the box will only have one built onto the mobo.

        @jahonix:

        @johnkeates:

        And replacing it every 3 years is rather soon for a home setup.

        I change my car more often so why not change a security appliance when requirements bump up? A good working unit can still be sold then.

        And if you read some background information about what netgate is working on you might want to replace your unit within this three year time span anyways.

        What are you talking about?

          You're asking this?  :o

          DPDK, VPP, … and what else you had in mind:
          @ivor:

          Future wise all pfSense official appliances will have an opportunity to have a lot better OpenVPN performance. I can't comment right now about it, since new technologies are still in development.

              He is aiming for: netgate is making new software, some of it might require new hardware.
