Router with firewall
by validator456 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5T54X)
I am looking at this router:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08JHL47BD/...lig_dp_it&th=1
It is a "Firewall, Mikrotik, Pfsense, OPNsense, VPN, Network Security Micro Appliance, Router PC, Intel Core I5 8265U, RM02, AES-NI/HDMI/COM/RS232/4USB3.0/6 x LAN/Fanless/SIM Slot, (DDR4 8G RAM/64G SSD)"
I saw a video of NetworkChuck on Youtube (https://youtu.be/lUzSsX4T4WQ) and I want to learn pfsense. But the question on my mind is: when would you go for a router with the specs as mentioned above?
I understand that it is probably overkill for my home network. But I am learning and I don't have the insight/experience with this, so I would appreciate it when you would be able to answer my question.
