After having issues with my Netgate 4100 (see this post) and knowing all the crap Netgate has pulled the last few years, I decided to build a new Firewall capable of 10 gig routing. Hopefully this fixes my issues. If not at least I no longer have to support PFsense.

Hardware:
X11SSH-F Motherboard
Xeon E3-1240 v5 CPU
32GB 2400mghz RAM
ZFS Mirrored 128gb SSDs
350W Gold Rated PSU
Connect X3 Dual SFP+ NIC
Should have it production ready by next week. Really not looking forward to reconfiguring all the HAProxy/ VPN stuff, but so far already found quite a few Aliases/Rules I can cleanup.
Thanks for stopping by!
I used to sport pfsense decals on my back truck window for years. Like you, had deployed them commercially for years before that, and proudly.
After all the bs, I’d look at those stickers with combo of nostalgia and remorse.
Had a local lawn company out to do our yard last summer and they managed to wing something into that back window and shatter it, requiring me to replace it. (Lawn company paid).
Realized I was really happy with the new window cause the stickers were gone.
Fuck pfsense.
