I’m a pretty novice person considering installing opnsense for my personal home use.
Their documentation has what would seem to be incomplete hardware requirement.
For example it does not list any network hardware. I assume you need at least 1 Ethernet connection. I recall reading somewhere that you might need 2 network cards? One for in and one for out?
What about network card specs? I have old computers lying around that exceed the CPU/RAM/SSD requirements but cards are practically antiques. Should I upgrade? If so, to what?
ETA: The best internet I could subscribe to where I’m at is 1024 Mbps down, 50 Mbps up. So don’t worry about wasting fibre speeds. :(
Does anyone know about a more thorough description of requirements?

I currently have it running on a Zimaboard 216 which has a Celeron N3450 processor. Runs perfectly fine. Also have an instance running in proxmox with 2 cores and 1GB. Runs perfectly fine. I don’t know what the documented requires are but I can say from experience, it doesn’t need much.
