Mainly as it only has one Ethernet port out of the box, and while there are methods to extend this, I wanted a piece of hardware that had what I needed ‘out of the box’ but was still minimalistic in nature.Įnter the PC Engines APU boards. While the Raspberry Pi, especially in its 4th incarnation, has a decent amount of power behind it, it’s not quite in the ballpark to be running pfSense. Security aside, I’m also a big fan of stats and pretty graphs, and these are quite simply hard to come by with some of the basic consumer broadband router solutions. This got me thinking about implementing a decent home network firewall solution, above and beyond the default one you get when running your average broadband router. I’ve recently been doing some more tinkering with the excellent Raspberry Pi devices, including setting up a home Pi-hole to assist with sending web adverts into a black hole.
