I will will be using both IPS & a VPN to the Win10 Vm.  The Vpn would only be used occasionally.  The Nas VM will likewise only one for about an hour overnight for backups.
I would rather not find out I need more CPU after I buy the Pentium <grin>.

I realize I have options as to the configuration of the nics in esxi, but whats the 'best practice' from a security standpoint?

I was hoping to run a Opnsense firewall via ESXI  along with an "occasional use" win10 Vm & a Nas (undecided which one but will only be on 1 hr a night) on a Pentium G5420   (2.8Ghz dual core w/HT)
Is this enough or should I upgrade to an i3/i5?

Also, is it best practice to pass the Nic that the ISP will connect on thru to Opnsense or just leave it part of the EXSI Nic-pool?  There will be 5 1Gb ports total
