Now to address George1421 but lends insight to reasons for this requesting help,I have a tendency to ramble instead of getting to the point. And occasionally a laptop running various Linux OS(Mostly Debian Based). 1 Smart TV(Eth),1 Smart(WifiOnly:(),between 2-5 Mobile devices(AndroidOS),1 Laptop(Eth W/Eth-usbC running Windows10Smode,LenovoFlex,Obviously Wired when working) and 1 Desktop running w10Home possibly upgrading to Pro. My environment as we speak consists of a ISP provided All In 1(I know,TERRIBLE idea,this however is short term). Opens a new windowĪlso without knowing more about your environment this is the best we can offer. Everything can be covered through the web UI (after initial configurations are done during the installation of course).ģ) Whatever you decide to do you will need to have a PC/Server/Hardware/Whatever with at LEAST TWO NETWORK ports - preferably capable of at least 1 Gbps speed.Ĥ) Here are some tutorials to get you started: Opens a new window - Opens a new window - Here is a GREAT video tutorial on how to get it installed/setup/configured/etc. Due to this you will want to size the hardware appropriately.Ģ) The pfSense software is based on FreeBSD OS (Similar to Unix, etc.). The more software platforms and features you add the heavier the load will be on system resources. This means that you can add additional software packages to make it a VPN server, IDS/IPS (Intrusion Detection System / Intrusion Protection System), Adblocker for the network, etc. It really is going to depend on your needs. Having said that these are the recommendations I have:ġ) You can make a pfSense box out of older PC parts laying around or something like an older Dell Poweredge R210 server or something that might be equal.
However I am also a Systems Admin with more than 10 years of professional experience in both SMB and enterprise environments. I run a pfSense box at home (and have been for years).
