Netgate Appliance - Intel
-
Hey guys,
Curious, will there be a new release of an intel (Not ARM) based CPU security appliance that doesn't have dual WAN like the 4100 has? I have no plans to use dual WAN and something that doesn't break the bank.
I am looking to stick with the pfsense+ and not CE OS.

See here : Inside The Box: The Netgate 4100
Keep in mind that :
Look also here : Lawrence Systems, (I am sure I saw him doing a 4100 special - but can't find it right now ?? )he spoke about the 4100 and had just one 'complaint' : the labels mention WAN1 and WAN2, but you can use them as a LAN or whatever, these are not dedicated WAN interfaces, there will do what you want the to do.
A router/firewall has no interfaces made for "LAN" or "WAN", or whatever. They do what you tell the to do.This :
is a usage suggestion.
You could use the LAN4 port as your WAN? and all the others as a LAN.
( not the console port of course )
( and you can only one of the two double combo ports )Btw :
As they say :

Thank you for the reply... I did look up the Lawrence Systems but he did not make a video but made a slight comparison between 4100 vs 6100? That was all I saw.
I will have to make some considerations now that all the ports at independent. That's pretty neat.
I had thought of just building a XEON process rack mount and install pfsense+ (think it only works on Netgate's only appliance? I'm just thinking out loud on other options.

See here : Migrate from pfSense CE software to Netgate pfSense Plus software!
IMHO : get an TAC for a device and install + on it.
