pfSense firewalls for sale

If anybody is interested in a pfSense firewall, I have plans to build half a dozen or so based on a stock of multi-port Gigabit Ethernet cards I have on hand.

I finished the first one today and I've listed it on eBay. I would sell at a lower price privately due to the fees. If you are interested please contact me for the friends and (Flex) family discount and other details. My email is good on qrz.com.

I built an identical one for myself and they are really great firewalls, and future proof considering the AMD CPU has AES-NI, so it will be compatible with the next major release of pfSense.

    Can it sustain 1Gbps ~ (950Mbps realistically) both directions?   I'd like to see some iperf reports if so.

    Hmm. That’s not quite gigabit saturation. With TCP overhead, you should be able to run the test for as long as you want and have it be close to 940-950Mbps sustained.

    Well, this is my "production" firewall which has a bunch of services running too. pfBlocker, ntopng, OpenVPN server. I'll be able to do a cleaner test once I build the next one. Due to arrive on the 24th. I can also do the 10GbE test on that one. More to follow...
