Is this build good enough?
-
Not really.
-
Without the CPU intensive packages, like snort - Just using VPN and firewall, you can probably be ok with the APU.
-
The a8? or the main topic one? Also I found this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833114054
Can I replace the wireless with that?
-
I would prefer the A8 - personal preference. Assuming compatibility of the mobo.
Bit I was talking about the 1st APU you mentioned.
-
Okay, a8 it is. Just have to find a small case for the micro atx motherboard!, Thanks for your help!!
-
Yeah - but you need to be careful which motherboard you buy.
Check to be sure there have been a few successful pfsense installs at least.Don't just buy a board based on spec with no checking to be sure it will boot and run pfsense.

Hey there.
I'm the author of that blog post you linked.Just to weigh in. I actually own an Intel NUC (this doesn't guarantee capability, just some side information) and successfully managed to install pfSense 2.2. The USB 3.0 NICs worked fine however they are only supported in 2.2. I maxed my 100mbit connection using one of these adapters. For some reason, as soon as I started using two, the connection peaked at about 40mbps.
This may be a bug or hardware limitation or something, I'm not sure.http://www.amazon.com/ORICO-Gigabit-Ethernet-Chromebook-Specific/dp/B00DHAQL3K
But yeah. You could happily use 2.2, on board LAN and a USB 3.0 Ethernet adapter. Bear in mind that 2.2 is currently BETA.
