I just recently got a new ISP and new internet speed 1200/600, my current firewall with opnsense can not handle the speed (AMD GX-412TC SOC), I have been looking for a new firewall (opnsense + 2.5 Ethernet) and found several with the Intel N100 CPU (2023).

I was wondering if this CPU is good enough to handle the Internet speed and if there is overhead?

    I’m using a virtualized opnsense on an n100 and it handles my 1.5gb line fine.

      That you very much for the answer.

      Can I ask why you are doing your firewall virtualized? I never understood why people do it, for me using bare metal has more advanced.
