Minimum requirements for 100 clients

[rscarpeli]

Hello

Can someone help me

I would like to know what would be the ideal computer configuration for 100 clients using PFsense 2.4.3

I did some testing on an Intel (R) Pentium (R) D 2.80 GHz, 4 ram and had problem

Thanks

Hello,

you should provide more details. What are your requirements?
Only Firewalling? VPN? Proxy? IPS/IDS? Bandwith? VLANs? Inter VLAN Routing?

Please try to give more details on your infrastructure.

Kind regards

Hello,

I'll use the tools available in pfsense, which you mentioned (Firewall, Proxy, Bandwith, VLANs, Inter VLAN Routing) including packages like squid, e2guardian (squidguard), and more.

Thanks

Hello,

with my question for Bandwith i wanted to know your ISP Bandwith :-)
Do you provide hosted services?

Unfortunately "100 clients" is a metric without proper definition or meaning.

100 people browsing Facebook have much different requirements than 100 gamers or 100 torrentors.

@jimp That´s why i asked for the bandwidth :-)

@bepo said in Minimum requirements for 100 clients:

That's a start, but even that doesn't help much. Someone running torrents could consume all available bandwidth in a heartbeat with minimal effort, but the same bandwidth could support a much larger number of typical web browsing users.

Thanks for everyone's response!
I have solved, I will use a machine with I3 / 8G / 500Gb.
