20g routing with NGFW features enabled. This is an effort to reduce power draw from my current Dell R620 that is currently my router.
Because i like to go fast. I have a 48 port 10g switch, all of my servers have 10g.
It came with them. I took them out in effort to switch from SATA 960GB SSDs...
Finally got the Intel X550-T2 and Intel X710-DA2 NICs in and installed and got some time to install opnsense 24.1. Using a ZFS mirror on the 960g SSDs. Just have to configure the interfaces then i think im ready to upload my cfg. Still throwing around the idea of disabling cores.

We also run Proxmox in production. We have it on a 4 CPU server and it...
