Decided on getting a dedicated 10G/5G box

After all the hoops I had to jump thru to keep the network up and working while I performed maintenance on my server, it became clear that I really need to invest in a dedicated “bare metal” pfsense box.   The timing is good too because a new upgrade in the AT&T Fiber to the Home has improved my base connection from 1GB to 5GB.   So I’ll be reviewing the available tech to see what I can line-up in the next month or so.
