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 just upgraded my home server and now have a spare Odroid H2 that features 2 ethernet ports.
Would that be a good option for opnsense? My current Fritzbox is connected through a single cable with my 24p NETGEAR switch which collects the cables from my home network and my server.
