PFSense home brew firewall/router

That's wildly impressive, but I don't know the outside of that computer case looked pretty clean like my Cylinder Head.

That's a great thread, and not just because of the uptime, LOL

It's good that it stayed up. The CPU torque tool was either missing or rounded off.

It was a pain to replace CPUs in these due to the torque tool required to swap a CPU.

Got the new Firewall/Router setup with PF-Sense 2.4 which is now AES-NI compliant. Works really well. It's a Quad Core i5 at 1.7GHz with 4gb of Ram and a Samsung EVO SSD.

Pulling just under 6mb/sec with a large file download test on a 50/10 VDSL connection.

Just waiting for the cost of Gigabit to drop so I can upgrade to that. Fiber is already here but it's $150/month and that's a big fat "NO" for me.
