Hey all!
I am thinking of making my own pf/OPN sense router/firewall etc. I do have a few bits of old-ish PC parts laying around. I have looked at the pfSense hardware section to get an idea, however just want more an input on the specification's I plan to use from the spare parts I got.
They are :
i7-4770K
CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-D15
Motherboard: Sabertooth z97 Mark S
16 gig ram @ 2333
SSD - 870 EVO, 250
PSU - 600
As for networking cards, is it best to get 2 x 10gigs cards or a duel single 10 gig card?
As I do want to learn pf / OPN sense over time and segment my network up. As I do a lot of editing/WFH/Hybrid stuff.
