With multiple NICs? Do you have a link? I've been looking around for such a thing for a while now, but the ones I see tend to be quite expensive (~500 €), and it's not always clear they have Intel NICs).

In my case, the best compromise I've found, is to accept having a bigger a computer and recycle some older EliteDesk / OptiPlex or similar, which usually are very quiet and can take PCIe network cards. The thinner ones use low-profile cards, which can accommodate 4 ports.



Look for Eglobal or Qotom on AliExpress. You can get these rebranded in the US on Amazon (I forget the name) with a warranty but at significant markup. Looking now it seems there are not so many Atom systems available, they are mostly Celerons and Core i3/i5 systems (which might be better, depending on what you want).

Here's an example Atom system from another seller: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002902302326.html


Qotoms are nice, but they would be even nicer with WiFi 6 instead of COM or VGA ports.


I'm running PFsense on one of these: https://www.pcengines.ch/index.htm

I'm happy with it.
