pfsense router build - cheap firewall as powerful as SG-5100

Building a pfsense router from a leftover HP T620 thin client. We download the pfsense software, load it to the hardware, and configure the installation. In a short time, we have a pfsense secure firewall that will outperform an SG-3100 and is comparable to the SG-5100 for around $149. This instructional video walks you through the entire build. If you are building a pfsense router for your home lab or family and friends, this may be the way to go. Follow along using similar hardware (it doesn't have to be this exact model) and have a powerful and secure firewall on the cheap.
