Well, I may now go back and revisit the whole USB-nic approach. In the past, the general consensus on the pfSense forums was that while they might work, don’t be surprised if you end up having problems. But, like Linux, FreeBSD has continued to improve and evolve too, so maybe this is a moot

Just the other week, Chris, I setup an IPSEC site-2-site tunnel between my house in Franklin, and my dad’s house in Murfreesboro with pfSense on both ends. It took all of 5 minutes to run the wizard on both ends. Both pfsenses in my case are virtualized. The new pfSense 2.2 now uses StrongSWAN

Depending on the Internet connection speed, what about using a USB to Ethernet adapter as your second NIC? I believe people are using them with the Pi for firewall applications. I *think* the Ethernet port on the Pi has a USB internal interface - at least it connects to the same chip the USB

pfSense supports VLAN interfaces, so you can set it up on a single-NIC device and it works great, but you do have to have some kind of managed switch to plug it into. That is what Curt is doing. I run a little Atom box at home that has two onboard NICs and one PCI card NIC and I run pfSense and

Point well made about the cost of a managed switch. At Watkins the idea of buying new network gear is anathema - we buy HP Procurve switches used on ebay, and HP honors their lifetime warranty. At home I wanted to upgrade to gigabit and found a good price (at the time) for a Procurve 1800-24G,

Mike, My interest was the possibility that the Pi 2 might be good/stable/capable enough to serve as an embedded device for pfSense (free FreeBSD-based firewall akin to Tomato or DD-WRT). I had not looked up through yesterday, but in digging on it more, it only has the 1 NIC, which makes it

I’m all in on the ebay source. If you pay attention to a seller’s rating and comments from buyers, you usually can spot those to be leery of. But that said, I’ve still gotten a few lemons. But for the most part, I too will turn to ebay for servers and switching gear. Procurves are nice. I have
