pfSense is a great #homelab networking router and firewall and we build this super performance 2.5Gb #networking + 10Gb homelab monster #pfsense 2.7.0 router. We go over hardware selection, Initial Setup and Configuration, and performance testing for our 10Gb LAN connected to our 2.5Gb capable Cable Modem. I'm using what I have on-hand to build this out and the speed gains are very impressive.
