Yes, it works fine.

You should update the BIOS to an unlocked version (search with Google, you will find guides mentioning pfSense).
then, probably the best is to install a SSD or HDD and install using an USB Stick.

Alternatively you can install it to a CF card.

You should also upgrade the CPU, as it is slow (Celeron) and RAM.
