Broadly speaking, I’d concur with that sentiment. I have had moderate success with this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00484IEJS It’s only USB2, but, if my memory serves correctly, that’s a good thing, because the USB3 version definitely didn’t work under pfSense (admittedly some time ago - around 2.1 time - so things may have changed since). I suspect any other USB ethernet device based on the same ASIX controller will likely work similarly… > As far as cheap managed switches go I’ll throw in a recommendation here for one of the cheap-ish HP ‘web managed’ switches - something like the 1810-8G if you want all gigabit ports, or if you don’t need more than 100Mb on your WAN interfaces, the older 1700-8 is also a good option. I’ve used both in scenarios where I’ve needed to connect more than 2 WANs to a PCEngines ALIX or APU.
