<![CDATA[ASRock NUC BOX-1115G4 Good choice for home FW ?]]>Hello.

I have been looking around for a cheap and small mini PC i can use to make a pfsense fw.
I would prefer a PC from a reputable brand.
I would like the pfsense box to have at least one 2.5GBE port.
There seems to be a variety of mini PCs from some chinese brands like hunsn that have 4 x 2.5GBE ports.
I also ran into a mini PC by asrock...

I was wondering if the 2.5GBE NIC would work with pfsense.

What i am concerned about is the 2.5GBE interface.
Not sure if and how well it is supported by pfsense at the moment.

IMHO two interfaces is to few for a firewall
