Old routers into pfsense box?
-
Hey folks,
Just a really quick question. Is it possible to turn a old router into a pfsense box? I have around 4 older ones so thought I might be able to recycle something.D...

Maybe list the make & model of the 4 devices.

Did these devices passed the first test : install https://www.freebsd.org/fr/ on them ... if that worked out fine, then yes, chances are good.edit : on a soHO devices -> no way.
You need a more "PC like" device, or a VM, or a dedicated device from Netgate => https://www.netgate.com/products/appliances/ -
Unfortunately I don't think any of those are x86 so installing pfSense becomes difficult to impossible.
You can probably put OpenWRT on at least one of them though.

My friend tried to do this, but it did not succeed.
