🕑 Added 2016-11-06 00:14:33 +0000 UTC This will go live sometime tomorrow. There will be a post on the forum that gives a little more context on why you would want to do this, and with a little more info about the machine we used, a Dell Optiplex 790 SFF.This is a little sneak peek as a thank-you for our patrons at an unlisted YouTube link.
We're just going to make it public tomorrow when the forum post is ready.

I built a PFSense box out of a old Dell 531 desktop. It had a dead hard drive so I put in a 40Gb SSD I had at the house. Put in two Intel Gigabit NIC's. I wish it had more memory, 4Gb, but so fare it seems to be enough. Now I don't worry that my NetGear router/firewall isn't getting new updates.

Great video. I really like the style you did it in,
Great video. I have been toying with the idea of getting a pfSense box for some time. Looking at something like this <a href="http://www.mini-itx.com/build/JBC320" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.mini-itx.com/build/JBC320</a> as it should be lighter on power. This video informed me of things I didn't know pfSense did. Thanks Wendell and the Level1 Techs team.
Great content. I actually use a dell optiplex w/ i5 at work. Not as router... Yet. :)

High quality stuff guys. If this is a view into what we can expect in the future the channel will become awesome. Great work, editing and overall just being awesome.
I watched the last Pfsense video probably 30 times when setting up my firewall. Thanks for the updated build.
Great Video, just got 2 cisco ASA firewalls with snort licenses at work, makes my life so awesome!

Yay!
:D
Hey Wendell, this is a nicely condensed 'getting started' video. I got about 14 APU.1D4s deployed as firewalls and/or OpenVPN entpoints - works great, next to no issue in 3 years. Two minor points of criticism: Running too much add-on stuff on a router/ firewall (i.e. security infrastructure) shouldn't be advised imo ("ok" for learning purposes though). Next is 6:05 -- testing PCIe hotplugging? ;-) Gives me flashbacks of yanking out a graphics card back in the day. Poor ol' Matrox Millenium G400. RIP.
Awesome!
woot woot
