Pine64 Februrary Update: Show and Tell

I am curious if a Pine64 board can be used as a pfsense router for home office use. Their hardware looks really neat.

There are two issues I can see:

* support for openbsd or freebsd (I forget which pfsense uses) and in particular an image for pfsense that supports the hardware

* if you need two NICs, you will have to use the rockpro64 with a PCIe card or maybe a USB3 based adapter

OpenBSD explicitly supports Pine 64/64+ and even ships the firmware to boot it with the install media. ROCK64/ROCKPro64 are also supported, but it's necessary to separately install an UEFI capable U-Boot. [0]

The community version of pfsense doesnt support ARM.
