Part 1: Purchasing the hardware Requirementsīefore we begin, we need to secure some hardware. ( Future) We want the OpenVPN clients to be able to talk to the LAN devices.We want the LAN devices to be able to connect to the internet.We want the LAN devices to be able to talk to each other.To function as a router, we want one port to talk to the internet (WAN) while the other ports are part of the same LAN network.( Future) We want to setup OpenVPN to allow external clients to connect and access the lan resources such as the NAS server I have on the intranet.We want performance acceptable enough so the LAN network isn't the bottleneck.10gbe equipment is usual expensive, but we want to build this on a budget.Also note that I'm not a network engineer nor that experienced in FreeBSD, so this guide is geared more towards more users with little experience in FreeBSD / pfSense.ĭifficulty: Novice - Intermediate The End Goal: I'll also be going over mistakes I've made so hopefully anyone following a similar build will minimize the time they waste.
However, after going through a lot of trial and error and failing to find a simple tutorial, I've felt it would be best to make a guide for others that may be wanting to tackle the same thing. I wasn't originally planning on writing a post about my budget 10gbe router build.
