TOPTON N150 Mini PC Firewall Router: Quad i226-V 2.5G LAN, NVMe Support, Low Power pfSense Box
Four Intel i226-V 2.5G LAN ports deliver 2.5 Gigabit connectivity on every interface with hardware-level receive-side scaling, reducing CPU load during high-packet-rate scenarios such as IDS inspection or deep-packet filtering. NVMe SSD support replaces the slow eMMC storage found on competing low-power boxes, giving your pfSense logs, Suricata rules, and package installs read speeds above 1,500 MB/s rather than 100 MB/s. The low power fanless design draws roughly 6 to 12 watts under typical routing loads depending on the chosen CPU, making annual electricity costs negligible even for always-on deployments. Processor choices span the Intel N150, Celeron J6412, 7305, and J5005, letting small businesses or home lab enthusiasts right-size compute capacity without overpaying for unused headroom. Order the TOPTON Intel N150 Mini PC Firewall Router from the official store today to receive a validated pfSense-compatible appliance with a full hardware warranty and responsive after-sales support.

The basic pfSense is installed, and I am using it with opnsense. Initially, only HDMI was recognized by the monitor during installation, but after booting, only the DP port was recognized. It was a bit difficult because the screen didn’t show anything during installation. Also, while I’m studying by tinkering with it, everything is fine except that when the Google Nest Hub Max speaker detects someone at the front door, the internet connection gets disconnected. If anyone else is experiencing this issue, please let me know. I have written about how to build a firewall on my blog: redchupa.com/m/entry/OPNsense-%EC%B0%A8%EC%84%B8%EB%8C%80-%EB%B0%A9%ED%99%94%EB%B2%BD-%EA%B5%AC%EC%B6%95.

The performance is good but the device gets very hot, around 60-65 degrees
