Need help choosing hardware
Hi everyone, this question has probably been asked a million times but i need some recommendations for hardware and so I turn to you, dear Reddit hive mind. I'm getting Fiber Optic Cable soon and thus have to replace my Fritz!Box anyways. So I was thinking of getting something I can tinker with and also supports splitting my network into separate Subnets. I'm already running OPNSense behind my current Fritz!Box on a VM, but dedicated hardware seems like the right way to go.
My requirements are the following:
* Very energy efficient (German energy prices are insane)
* At least 3 NICs
* Future Proof (so maybe 2.5 or even 10 GbE NICs)
* Hopefully cheaper than 300-400€
In also planning to use the VPN but only for a few users.
Thanks for your help me advance :)
