I've been running pfSense for many years on mini PCs. I'm thinking about upgrading my two home networks to at least 2.5G, and probably 10G. I think I'm also going to switch to OPNsense. Both home networks are currently connected with an IPsec site-to-site VPN. When I upgrade, I plan on switching to wireguard. Each home network has multiple APs, a NAS and several PCs. Both homes have 1G fiberoptic WAN connections. I also plan on creating VLANs on both networks, which I currently do not have. I'd like to stay with mini PCs if possible.
What would you consider the minimum CPU to get? Is the Alder Lake-N150 adequate? Should I get better? Thanks!
P.S. I wouldn't mind mini PC suggestions either. I've looked at the "official" OPNsense options. I currently have Qotom, but want 10G connections.
