I was in need of a new firewall, so I picked one up. This little guy runs [pfSense](https://pfSense.org) which is a [FreeBSD](https://freebsd.org) based firewall solution, and it ran very well for me with no issues for over 4 years. -Until the [Winter Storm of 2021]({{< ref "/post/2021/02/well,-that-was-fun.md">}}), that is.

Either way, I knew it was not long for the world, so I started prepping for the replacement. Since pfsens had worked well for me, I was planning on keeping it, but upgrade to some better hardware.
