I found that the Sillicom brand quad-port bypass adapter (model: PE2G4BPI35LA) is built on Intel i350-am4 chip. (product page and spec sheet)
Also, its 2nd-hand ebay price is usually lower than true/fake Intel i350-t4 NICs.
I did know pfSense doesn't need bypass NIC ports to be used as an transparent firewall/IDS/IPS.
I am wondering if this is able to be used as an Intel i350-t4 alternative in the home lab.
