I have been looking at Atom based systems for a while. I keep drooling over
these cheapo, compact, low power units.
I'd really like to replace my 1Ghz, 1GB, 1U machine running pfSense with one.
Are these things supported in pfSense?
Is anyone using them or can recommend a board or specific
. with the right case.
It depends on what you're going to run -- embedded or with room for
add-ons. They're both great.

Has anyone had any luck with ASUS EEE Box PCs? Them seem to have built-in

of going with the Alix 6B2 kit (not Atom). Just unpacked it, installed embedded

And to clarify, when people are saying full install, do they mean the regular

As well, my CF card is 512MB, does a base install work on something this size?

I have gone out and purchased a SanDisk 8GB CF Card.

I have managed (thanks to help on this list) to get my ALIX board running a
full install of pfSense on 8GB CF card, so that I could enable Snort service

I ran into the problem of it downloading the snort rules and it would fail.

I should add, that I have rebooted 5 times since then without issue.

So I assume this means that it will work for a 3G USB Stick, not just WiFi?
If so, I wonder if I can just get a used Dish Network or DirecTV dish and use
that. They're super cheap and look like they're already tuned.

I have a T1 connection going through pfSense. When I run windows update on a
computer, the internet grinds to a halt. If I run multiple windows updates, the
internet is completely unusable. pfSense Traffice graph is pegged at 1.5...
obviously the max, but for some reason, it's not sharing
(same thing). VPN access is needed (wouldn't want that to saturate it). Web

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

It did not happen with the other connection. But the previous firewall didn’t

Thanks everyone... I should clarify a little more of what my worry is.
Specifically the 4 machines downloading updates at the exact same time and
taking the internet connection to its knees probably isn't too realistic a
scenario. We did do it in the middle of the night, so it can happen, but
that four computers
downloading a few patches from Windows Update can bring a T1 to its knees.
It sounds like there may be other issues here, and only testing and
verification will the root cause to light.
