Thanks for your answer!
Well the fileserver is domain server for all employees to log on to.
So I think that this will generate some load on the broadband.
To PfSense we will use 2Ghz with 2Gb RAM.
But as I said I'm not sure what kind of speed on the broadband I need.
Oh! Well, I'd go with something that has at least 1 Mb up and down for
something of that nature, but WAN bandwidth usage varies so much from
one environment to another that only you can know the answer to that
question. Based on your description, you might be able to get by with
100 Kb, or might need 10 Mb.
Windows file shares perform terribly over WAN connections where latency
is more than ~30-35 ms. You'll want to use the same ISP on both ends to
keep the latency as low as possible. Latency is likely more important
than bandwidth - getting more bandwidth is easy, lowering latency is
impossible. This still may not be enough for adequate file server
performance across the VPN link. Your only option for good performance
may be a private WAN connection, depending on the level of file server
usage and the Internet latency between the sites.
