What hardware?

Cannot remember when I jumped ship now, late 2017 I think...( checks his inbox )... nope, December 2016, tempus fugit!

I must have followed you later.  I remember finding your posts very useful and then they deleted them all.

And I am one of them... jumped ship before they could ban me!

I think we may have jumped at around the same time. I remember there was a huge long thread with lots of information on using Qotoms and they just deleted it all. I reckon they they did me a favor.

Even on reddit, on r/pfsense it's not great in terms of how their mods and "wannabe mods" operate

I don't know about the interfaces, given that I honestly want it to last. If I have 10Gb infrastructure in the future I'd want this firewall to handle that too. Ideally both WAN and LAN could be SFPs?

I have no idea. I imagine you'd need a much more powerful CPU to handle 10Gb. Some of the higher-end Qotom boxes might make more sense or wait for an appropriate Tensor-PC.

Thanks. I guess when the time comes, I could just export the config out and then re import it?

I'm using the Qotom you mention. I like it alot, just remeber to move the jumper for boot on power (if you like, after power failure I like autorestart). Are there bettwr solutions? Maybe but so far I have seen none. And it is not using alot of power either, nor.does it get hot. As I wrote above, I like it alot, and it is perfect for me (that I am having config challenges has nothing to do with the hardware). From my perspective: go for it!

Thanks. Which one do you have? How exactly do you move the jumper? Do you unscrew it, move the little blue thing from one pin to another pin?

My Qotom box has arrived now. Could I ask where I should move the jumper to? Do you want photos?
