      Is it possible to install pfSense onto a cell phone and then use the wireless as the WAN as well as LAN/AP? Essentially creating a mobile hotspot?

      Not sure how small the nano is and/or if this is just a dumb question that should never have been asked.

      Thx.

          Probably not. Even if you managed to get it installed, the CPU architecture is likely not supported (they aren't running i386/amd64 CPUs in those), plus it wouldn't likely have devices supported by FreeBSD on there for wireless and such.

            XP Phone?  :P

            Why would you want to do this though? Just want a more secure portable hotspot?

              @briankkatz:

              Can we install and configure pfSense version 1.2.3 in a home network.   ???
              What would be the Hardware specifications.

              Check this:

                Hmm. Can't tell if this is spam….

                The question seems legitimate if misplaced and basic but the store link seems like spam.
