    Any cheap pfsense box in india

    The cheapest option would be to get a used thin client like HP T620 with single NIC and use a managed switch (VLANs). This kind of an arrangement will be fine as long as you dont need gigabit speeds

    Isn't it unfortunate that the home music systems are totally gone and......

    Spend most of the money on the speakers, they matter the most. You will get nice entry level passive bookshelf speakers in 20-35K range. You will need an amplifier to power them If you do not want the complications of amplifiers, look for Active speakers, however limits your flexibility for...

    thinvent Micro 5 Thin Clien, anyone own this ?

    By the specifications, going for a Pi4 would be a better idea, even if it is slightly more expensive. Better still, get a 3-4 generations lower i3 and it would be miles ahead of an Rpi4 and it will run all your home lab stuff in docker / LXC

    Windows Laptop attacked by Ransomware

    Ransomware reveals itself only after it has encrypted most of your files.

    Opnsense is installed in an HP thin client (T620). The only gigabit ethernet is connected to a VLAN aware switch which has multiple VLANs for internet connections and internal networks. The WiFi access point also connects to the same switch

    USB NIC for pfSense

    I am using VLANs with Opnsense and it works well. I tried USB ethernet with ASIX chip and Realtek chip with Opnsense and it did not detect properly that time. The Internet bandwidth is less than 100 Mbps so using the single gigabit ethernet works well for me
