new set up help
-
Hello everyone,
i will try to set up new network using pfsense,but have a few questions before start. my current set up is:
netgear r7000 run on ddwrt,pc with i3-8100/8gb ram run as media server on openmediavault(only for plex,plex is only on local net,and documents backup)the only drawback on this set up is vpn, complete not usable on r7000 when set up with nordvpn on it,that's the main reason to set up pfsense on my spare box with i5-3450/8gb ram as router to run on it vpn for all devices. my concern is that if i use 2 pc run 24/7 will take probably a lot of energy ,so bills go up(i will try this set up anyway just to check increase of my bills) ,this one is the easy way which i probably don't need any help,but i thinking about slightly different approach,ie. set up all on one box(if those 2 above are not strong enough,i have my work pc with i5-8600/16gb ram which i can use).
any advise? i belive its not possible that pfsense have a ad-on or plugin or option in it to install plex or nas?
better option is set up pfsense and plex as virtual machines on one box?
thx in advance
