      I need a small firewall box (preferable pfSense) for an out-of-band connection to our data center production network.  This box will only get used for remote SSH connectivity if our main pfSense firewalls become unavailable.  I only need 2 NICs (WAN, LAN) with limited capabilities (ssh with port forwarding).  Looking at newegg, I can get a cheap SOHO firewall box for less than $50, but I would really like to stick with pfSense if possible.

      Any suggestions for a $50 pfSense box?

          Thanks!

          Turns out, I forgot I had an old PIX 501 in the garage just collecting dust.  After a few minutes configuring it, I was able to repurpose an old device!
