Guys, thank you all for your recommendations.

Yepp, there are a lot of nice devices with 3 NICs, but I need at least 4
and actually I don't need more than 5.

It's a nice device for the suggested price, but it's a bit expensive for
my project. I need a number of the devices, the idea is not to surpass $150.

Thanks Максим, looks interesting, but again it's a bit expensive. The
basic version with RAM costs about $232.

Thanks a lot Karel, I didn't know there was an apu4 board. I guess this
is the device I'm looking for. Though, there's no information on
internet about it, even the official page doesn't provide links to it,
it appears only on the order page. Was it released just recently? Can
you confirm it's working well with OpenBSD 6.2/6.3?
Do you know where to buy it? On the official order page
(http://www.pcengines.ch/newshop.php?c=4) it says "No stock".
Regards,
Anatoli

The Edgerouter 6 is going to be coming out shortly, that is what I am
holding out for to run my home network on.
Just curious, why this and not amd64 bit with something like the
pcengine apu2 board? I know it only has three NICs, so it's likely a
apu4b4 provides 4 intel NICs:
