The Common pfsense Packages / Plugins We Use and Why 

Thanks

Glad to help!

It does have pfblocker

Ntopng, export it to influxdb, from there you can import the DB data into a visualizer like grafana.

The Netgate SG-1100 is still the best value for home use

Look up Qotom on Amazon....make sure you get one that does AES-NI. They come in many flavors.

I can suggest two options, although both a bit above your $100 target. . If you want to stick to new, look at pcengines.ch. I think the four port models are around $120 with power supply and storage. The other option is a used HP T620 Plus off eBay. It’s a thin client. Very important that you get the “Plus” model because it has a PCIe slot. You’ll find lots on offer with 4GB RAM and a 16GB SSD, plenty to run pfSense. Ignore it’s built in Realtek Ethernet port and add a four port Intel based Ethernet card, also off eBay. Preferably one based on the 340i or 350i as the older cards use more power. The box plus the Ethernet card will run around $140. Prices vary widely so be patient. The HP is much larger than the pcengines box but still smaller than a SFF PC They both have quad core AMD CPU but the HP runs at a faster clock speed They both run around 15 watts or less under load With the pcengines box, you have to do your pfSense installation via the console port, whereas with the HP you can attach a monitor and do a conventional installation They both use external power bricks, although the HP’s is much larger. The pcengines box can only be a router but the HP, being a thin client, could be used as a low power PC if you decide later you’d really rather use some other hardware for your router. In both cases, you’ll want to run a separate wifi access point but that applies to any pfSense installation. The Ubiquiti Unifi ones are a popular choice. Pick either Lite or LR models Don’t make the mistake of thinking you need the “Pro” model. It’s for high density deployment so you’re be paying more for something you’d never use. I’m running the HP T620 Plus with pfSense, and a Unifi AC LR and it works great.
