      Hi All

      I've been using pfSense at home for a few months now, and I'm quite satisified with the performance, of course a few quirks are still in there, but for the most it's a very good product.

      So now I want to implement it into our organization.

      We have a few offices around the world, and I would very much like to just set up a small appliance box for this.
      I've looked at applianceshop.eu (we're in the EU, so that's a plus), but they only offer with three etherports, and I want four.

      Who else builds these boxes in a nice package?

      /Kenneth

              Ok, so I got the three needed units configured.
              A pricetag around 8000 Dkr (1150 €).

              I have one more question, that Cortex couldn't answer.

              I'm going to work with their 5501-70 board which is a 500 Mhz AMD Geode LX single chip processor with CS5536 companion chip, 512 Mbyte DDR-SDRAM.
              The question I'm still having is if we wan't to set up VPN for the IT department here in Lynge, can the board as it is, handle that? If not, and we add the vpn1411 to help out, will pfSense make use of that?

              Any idea on that?

                I've run single IPsec tunnels on an Alix2c3 (Also a 500mhz geode) and it doesn't seems to hit the CPU too hard.
                The vpn1411's are hifn chips, and are supported in pfSense.

                  It's mostly dependent on throughput required.  See:
