I wasn't really sure where to post this or if I should just write a blog.
Over the last month or so I have been building a new firewall using new hardware. I have used Smoothwall for many years. That said it is today running on a small footprint Atom based motherboard with three NICs in a small mITX case.
I am looking to do load balancing on the WAN side and have multiple networks on the inside with the new PFSense box.
The new PFSense box is very small footprint build.
The small case has a single slot riser board. Ordered a double slot riser board for it today.
I started with 3 NICs using the two built into the motherboard. Today I replaced the single added Intel Gb NIC card with a double server style NIC card. I am looking though to add another double Intel NIC or maybe go to a 4 port Intel NIC card.
I noticed that its really plug n play and just wondering if anyone else has a PFSense firewall configured?
