In OpenBSD the firewall application called "pf" is pretty much thei dont know about that, but i use ufw for its easy handling as my
defacto when it comes to enterprise level opensource firewalls in
my opinion, and I think it would make a great firewall in any

I wonder if anyone has set up a Pi to be a firewall. It would run as afirewall great I reckon, the only draw back would be the
single network interface, however that could be overcome with the use ofvlans.

then I haven't really done anything with them... they look cool in theircluster case but I really need to make use of them properly.
Howdy,
I've wondered if the Pi would be OK for a firewall - I have doubts about its network performance though. (Only because I havent researched it).
Run it ESXi - you can give it as many network interfaces that you want, but I guess that would impact performance even more... (And yes, I
guesss you still need to use a VLAN..)

Yeah, I've got 2 Pi 4's but they are not in use at the moment.
I did have them running all BBS stuff, but then I setup a door game
server and used Windows, since that was more successful then dosemu. So the BBS stuff is running on a APU1D (also under ESXi).
My Pi 3+ is a retro gameboy that my son has (in a Waveshare Game Hat) - I should get that off him and play it...
Howdy,
G'day =)

I wondered the same, the NIC on a 4B is 1Gbps but I don't know if realistically a Pi can achieve a full 1Gbps - when I try I will know and share the info if no one else does before hand.

Ah not a bad shout, I wonder if the OpenBSD image is an ISO or a IMG, I had issues figuring out how to use the IMG file as it's not a bootable image, it's a clone of a disk... never really spent much time on it though.

Ah that makes sense, dosemu was/is a pita to set up for door games in my experience, doable, but a pita.

Ah sounds nice, is that similar to what Paulie420 has? I think his is called something like the Pi-boy or something. Looks amazing anyway.

Yes it is a nice little unit - and the RetroPi looks really good on it.My Pi 3+ is a retro gameboy that my son has (in a Waveshare Game Hat

I bought an SD card off of Amazon, and it came with 10,000 ROMS -
although there are many versions of the same game in different languages
- so it's way less than 10,000, but still enough to have fun on.
though none the less.although there are many versions of the same game in different languages

Ah I see, is _every_ game like that, or just some? Sounds really great
Actually, I must admit, I've not *actually* checked that there were
10,000 - the Amazon page said there were.
The other thing to remember with these kind of advertising, is that it
has the same game for different machines. So Super Mario for many Atari models, C64, Amega, etc...
One day I'll get around to cataloging it and then I'll see how many I actually have :)

I have a 4B connected to the living room TV running emulators under Retropi. Most of the rest in my basement with the BBS and HA gear. One Zero W functioning as a cheap security camera,a 3 running pihole, a 4 running Nodered, Mosquitto and Home Assistant. Hass is not my main HA software but there are a couple of things that I can't do with Homeseer
so I use it.
That's it currently. I have a couple of extra 3s and a Zero W for
future projects and a 3b with a touchscreen I was going to use in my
car. Ended up buying a kenwood head unit so I will figure something
else for it eventually.

A question - I see in this message that You wrote: "HA gear" and
"kenwood head unit".
Is that used for operating a Amateur Radio station or something about Pi's?
