Hiya, looking the a firewall for my homelab, mostly to experiment but also for a added layer of security. There are just two of us in this household with a few laptops, phones and my servers, so nothing much. Therefore looking for something affordable and not "overkill".

Anyone got any recommendations for this? Also how do you run your opensense/pfsense instance?

Appreciate any tips!

Any dual-nic SBC should be fine. My roommate & I run it on a i3 dual-nic small machine, but that's almost overpowered. prior to that I ran it on a vm on proxmox, worked fine mostly, just a bit of a headache setting up the networking initially.
