If any of you turns a RPi into a firewall, please let me know. I'd love to swap out my mid-tower OpenBSD/pf firewall for some little thirty watt thing. My firewall is on 24/365, so electricity counts, especially because I live in the south and not only does my firewall burn electricity, but then the air conditioner uses more electricity getting rid of its heat. The problem I've had with stuff like Raspberry Pi is not enough Ethernet ports to make a firewall. People tell me that USB Ethernet adapters won't even carry the load of 100Mbit, let alone 1Gbit. I spoze that's not a limitation on the Brighthouse side (10Mbit down, 0.5Mbit up), but it's close. Also, I can't imagine how to get an OpenBSD image onto an SD card so that the Raspberry Pi would boot it.
