I ran a firewall/server for a year on a flash stick with full logging.
No problems.
As an ex-chip-verification-engineer, the BIG caveat is temperature.
Failures will at least double for every 10C above 20C or so.
Heat is electronics most vicious enemy.

Hi
did you actually read any piece of documentation about the topic?
Manual pages like ipsec(4) for overview, ipsec.conf(5) for

for possible ways of authenticating your warriors.
