Hi everyone,

Here's what I'm looking at buying, hopefully sometime this year, to replace
my current pfSense box: https://shop.netgate.com/products/2100-base-p...

It's looking at moving the BBS to a small Dell Optiplex 740 (I think) so I
can put my router/firewall, the BBS, and my WAP on a single shelf in as
bookcase or something similar.  I'm really trying to downsize.  The BBS does
not get enough traffic to justify running a big server.  Besides script
kiddies getting caught in fail2ban, that system doesn't see too much
traffic.

I happen to have a 2.5" 1TB HDD that I could easily put the entire BBS on
and still have toom.  I'd also like to get a small NAS of some type to put
on the same shelf with the other equipment and I could use it to serve
files, et cetera.

One of the best things I like about that appliance is I can dump my current
config to a XML file, upload it to the appliance, and after making a few
minor changes I'd have a fully configured pfSense appliance.
