As an experiment, I set up a pfSense VM in ESXi 6.5 to connect an isolated virtual network to my server's NIC. It worked very well for that purpose, and I eventually started using it as an OpenVPN endpoint. Now I'd like to ditch my Linksys E4200 for a small, dedicated pfSense box that can act as firewall, OpenVPN endpoint and wifi access point. I'd like to keep it small, cheap and low powered because my home lab is already taking up too much power and space.
The Zotac zBox line looked like a good contender, but it seems the built in wifi isn't FreeBSD/pfSense compatible. Can anyone else suggest a similar combination of functionality and chassis that is fully compatible with pfSense?
