Rage Set Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I figured I would create a place for people to talk pfSense firewall software and hardware appliances (made by Netgate or third-party). Whether you are completely new to hardware based firewalls or a seasoned veteran, post anything related. Do you deploy it for home, lab or business? What kind of appliance do you use? Prebuilt? Old PC? VM? What are your favorite packages? 2 A Change Is Gonna Come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reciever Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Been wanting to try my hand at pfsense for a while now. Haven't had the time 😞 Been hearing good things though, save for that odd situation with it and opensense. Telegram / TS3 / Twitter 2700X to 5800X3D upgrade! With a 10850K cameo!

Custom90gt Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I picked up a Lenovo ThinkCenter M900 (SFF) to run pfSense on because I wanted to try it. So far it's been awesome. It's super flexible and has been totally stable for the past 4 months. Now if only I were smart enough to take advantage of it, lol.

Hi @Custom90gt Can you tell me what you used for a second NIC in your Lenovo M900? I see a lot of the RT NICs out there, but I'm reading to shy away from those. Just wondering what you used. Thanks in advance. -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
