We take a look at two new Intel Core i5 and Core i7 based firewall and virtualization hosts with either 2x 10GbE and 4x 2.5GbE or 8x 2.5GbE network connections. This is a crazy little system that came pre-installed with pfSense Plus and we also put OPNsense and Proxmox VE on. We also discuss why VMware ESXi 8 will be a challenge. It makes a really interesting #homelab node that has a lot of onboard networking.
