Hardware recommendations for running OpenSense as a Firewall? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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!

My Pentium G3220 box running OpnSense has never bottlenecked me, so I imagine you can run it on basically anything you can find in a dumpster.
