This functionality drastically speeds up cryptography processes for SSL and VPN services. Simply put AES-NI is encryption hardware included in the die of most new processors. They may not however be the best pfSense box if they lack support for AES-NI.

Technically any x86 device or PC is a compatible pfSense firewall. There are a lot of boxes out there that claim to be pfSense compatible. Understanding AES-NI: Why it is important!ДЄ quick technical detail we need to cover. If youвЂ™re interested in a business pfSense box check out our article on the best enterprise pfSense boxes for business. WeвЂ™re going to assume for the purposes of this article that weвЂ™re talking about home networking. So with that in mind what is the best pfSense box for the money? Updated Feb 2021: This article has been updated to reflect our latest hardware choices. My brother and I even have a VPN running between our houses with pfSense! The biggest issue is that although pfSense is community based and open sourced, it is ultimately still owned by Netgate and they are pushing their own hardware to pfSense users at what I feel is a steep premium (and unnecessary). IвЂ™ve been running it in my environment for several years and its just rock solid and reliable. Fortunately, for all but a few I have reconfigured them to use VLANs with a VLAN capable switch.As you guys know I am a huge fan of pfSense.

However, with 2.5.2 and 2.6.0 now with ure driver, reliability on USB Ethernet has gone.

Up until 2.4.5p1 I have successfully used them in 24/7 use cases with USB Ethernet. The only downside is the number of Ethernet interfaces, usually just one. The RTC, AES-NI and SSD using ZFS make it far better than a RPi.

Used prices and models vary, but I often can buy one used and upgrade it with 32GB mSATA SSD, 4GB-8GB or RAM for less cost than a comparable RPi4. My favourites use 1.3Ghz intel Atom 3825 dual core CPU with AES-NI. There are a number of low power consumption 64-bit intel based thin client terminals that have been produced by various brands. My preference is to use repurposed thin client terminals. Yes you can add a RTCmodule to a Pi but this puts the cost up further. However, quite often log entries are made before time sync has occurred. The RPi does not have a battery backed Real Time Clock so it relies on syncing with a NTP source. I have rejected all of them because the log files are useless when a large number of entries appear stamped. All not optimal but not expensive I have tried a few Linux based firewall distros on Raspberry Pi over the years just out of curiosity. I'd check in the way of and see if there's some small tinkering board on ењ†4 arch is available.

There are also drivers and low level firmware to check with and licenses that may interfere while porting to other platforms. No ARM SOC is exactly like the other, just because SG1100/2100 are (I think) EspressoBins that work, doesn't mean that RasPi4 with a whole different ARM SOC works, too. They DON'T cost that much normally.ДЄlso again: there is no Raspi4 build as has been said multiple times already so the whole RasPi discussion is pointless. an SG1100 for 179$ and that's in your pricerange the whole price debate of 300/500$ is unnecessary as that's country/customs dependant. Please start comparing real world prices.

I can also understand that in addition to having created the code (Open Source), they try to sell appliances, but my performance requirements are so low that they do not allow me to spend OTHER 300/500 dollars So TL DR your mileage may vary, one should check the facts before jumping to wild conclusions or accusations. Where I'm located, I can buy one for 179$ + shipping. I don't know where the OP is living, but instead of just repeating things without checking, perhaps he/she could have checked if Netgate HW is available and to what costs. Huh seems to live in a country where Netgate products aren't available or have hefty customs or shipping costs on top of the box price - that is really sad. Hunt down some small ењ†4 plattform, a NUC or sth like that damn pcengines APU2/3/4 and fire away :)Д«) '350/500$! Then I'll buy cisco!'. So if you wanna play with the project on your own hardware - go for it, but the project is built on ењ†4 nothing else. No one has ever said anything against missing them. Huh? What's that got to do with each other? pfSense CE is open source.

I also read many strange conceptions in this topic that make me wonder.ДЄ) having non-supported hardware, first asking and afterwards 'blaming' 'I thought that is opensource aka free for me'. Nice thing to carry around with to protect your laptop. I find the SG-1100 to be in the same ballpark all things considered and it's a very similar form factor.
