Hi Maurice
First off, wonderful work. In the name of everyone else who doesn't say it: thank you!
Before I spend some money (not a lot) on a Watchguard Firebox T80, I wonder if this unofficial ARM release would even run on it.
As far as I can find, the T80 specs are:
Processor NXP LS1046A 1.2GHz (a 4 core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A72)
Memory: DDR4 4 GB
I don't have experience with OPNsense, but I'm here because I want to try it obviously. I'm wondering how it will perform with 4GB of memory. I would not use it in a heavy setting. Just some basic home use with VPN and monitoring/blocking tools. I'm also curious if OPNsense will be able to support all ethernet ports including providing power to the two PoE ports.
I respect that you may not have the answer to all questions. As long as I would get a good indication that it would run, I'm willing to give it a try and provide as good feedback as possible. I like the relatively small form factor and the fact that there aren't any annoying fans :)
