Hi,
      I hope you doing well, I am satisfied with your open-source firewall solutions.

Please tell me, dealers in India.

Tell me if it's supported any industrial Mini PC?

Like this product can support? https://clientronix.in/product/clientronix-alpha-4125/

Tell me what you recommend other brands.

If we configure the firewall like the above product, how recognize the interface? How to change the interface LAN or WAN  Like Sonicwall  hardware Firewall?

Tell me which plugin is recommand for website url filter and web category filter, looking cost efftive or one time invesment.

It's impossible to tell from that website if it can run OPNSense. You need to ensure your chosen hardware is supported by freeBSD https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.2R/hardware/ . This mini pc thing does not have any technical details of the components it uses, so it would be a chance to try at your expense, or you could ask them before buying.
Also for your other questions: https://docs.opnsense.org/

I'm guessing from the part number that it is a j4125 processor, so yes it should work, but no you should not buy it. Go for an n5105 or n100 processor, many of these devices out there.

The same vendor has N100 pc as well, check it https://clientronix.in/product/clientronix-alpha-100/
Hardware: Lenovo ThinkStation P330 Tiny (Intel Core i5-8500 @ 3.00GHz, 1xI219-LM, 4xI350)
BUFFERBLOAT GRADE A+

Do not use N5105 or earlier any more, they do not have AVX instructions. There are N100 and N150 variants out that do not cost much more.
Intel N100, 4 x I226-V, 16 GByte, 256 GByte NVME, ZTE F6005
