Hi all, Firstly let me say that I've been using pfSense for some time now and I have to say it's a great firewall :)
I've been running it on some old hardware and have been thinking about getting some low power hardware such as an ALIX 2D13 but wondering how it'll perform. I'd have bog standard UK ADSL so I doubt I'll be pushing more than 50Mbps on the WAN for quite some time! I'd quite like to run the full version if that's possible on this board. I will need at least two network interfaces (one for the WAN, one LAN) and one WLAN. I'd quite like to add in the multiple WLAN feature when it's added and possibly VLANs on the 3rd network interface for testing and virtual machine use etc. Has anyone any experience with this board? I won't be moving much traffic across the firewall from LAN to LAN and it's unlikely that there'll be more than 5 PCs hitting the internet at any one time. Having a power button to shutdown the system would also be nice :) since I like to shutdown my firewall overnight but I realise this is unlikely with this style of board. Would the board be able to handle that kind of load? If not would people have suggestions for other low power boards with 3 NICs and a mini-PCI slot that'd be able to handle what I'm planning to do with it? Thanks in advance for the advice.
