      I am looking for small/wall mountable form factor pfSense hardware with 4 NICs.

      I currently own a Netgate 3E 2D3 and like the small size, but ALIX motherboard-based system seem to only ship with up to three NICs. Any suggestions which hardware to buy?

      Thanks,
      –Lucky

        Have you looked into Soekris?  Not exactly cheap but if size is more important to you it is a viable option

          Depending on your bandwidth and size requirements, you might use a small (say 5 port) VLAN capable switch as a "port multiplier".

            Thanks! The Soekris has a larger case than I was hoping for, but meets my specs.
