Successful Install on HP t5730 Thin Client
-
Great post and thank you for keeping it updated.
I think that this would be ideal for my first foray into pfSense - a quick look on ebay and a t5740 is around £30, which seemingly has moderately higher specs than the t5730.
Given your success with this model, would you see any likley issue with using the t5740 and following your same steps?
Appreciate your time. ;)
Richy.

I don't think so. But, keep in mind, both models have one single ethernet port, so to be able to use pfSense as a router/firewall with distinct WAN and LAN ports, you'd need also a VLAN-capable switch. ;)

Hi @robi,
I appreciate your work on this as I own an HP t5730 on which I would like to install pfsense. Since your last post, the older versions prior to 2.4 have been removed from the pfsense download site.
So, I am unclear whether there is a way to directly install the current nanoBSD version on the HP t5730 or if there is a workaround (finding an old version of pfsense elsewhere and then upgrading in accord with the instructions you have provided, installing a current version to a computer, modifying it to fit on the HP 1 GB flash and "dding" it to a USB drive and then installing that, or...).
Thanks in advance for advice.
