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 Connecticut Citizens Defense League: Carry On! 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidus1983 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I'll be moving to PfSense once i have my x86 system for routing, i do infact have the x86 system already however its my VM server right now till i can get something more upgradable then its ready to be swapped over after getting some Wireless AP's. So PfSense is on my list i have worked with it before its not that bad and its been improved since then so can't wait to get back into it again. {Main Laptop:} PCS Recoil 17.3" (Clevo X170KM-G) Spoiler {CPU:} Intel i7 11700K {RAM:} 2x 16GB DDR4 Crucial 3200MT/s {GPU:} Nvidia RTX 3070 Mobile {Screen:} BOE NE173QHM-NY2 165hz 1440p {Storage:} WD SN570 2TB (Data/ShadowPlay/UserProfile), WD SN770 in 1TB (OS), 2TB WD SN770(Firmware/Drivers/Junk) and 2TB WD 850X (Games) {OS:} Windows 11 Pro Benchmarks: {TimeSpy}: Normal Extreme {Firestrike}: Normal Extreme {Port Royle}: Result Realtek Nahimic 3 Modded Driver for MSI Systems: Latest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...
