      Curious if anyone knows how well pfSense does at caching steam and other downloader/launcher data. Looking for good options for a small internet/game cafe.

        You need a Proxy like Squid for caching.

          i thought squid was a downloadable module for pfSense....

          so like if i put a fat (say 2TB+) SSD in the XG-7100-1U, configured it to cache "everything" through port 80 ( like steam and other launchers use to download) would it run nice?

          Trying to find the most efficient way to save downloading the same steam (and other) game updates 45 times.
