Anyone seen these?

Should be able to add an intel multi-NIC card perhaps...

Hi,
right now there is no OPNsense support for ARM platforms.
Only x86 32/64bit are supported.

best regards

Ah... I see.
I'm struggling trying to find an affordable, low power, 2 (or more) port board to run as the border of my home network. I'm not too hip to the Qotom ones as they're a bit out of my price range. Been looking for alternatives here but haven't found one yet.
The RP looked promising.

Hi,
many users are happy with the APU2 series mainboards from PC Engines.

An APU2C4 set (MB, case, ssd, power supply) priced around ~ 200EUR (Germany).

best regards

From what I've read the throughput caps out around 600-650M with simple FW and NAT on those.

But thank you for the suggestion.
