I know it's a bit more expensive than the Pi devices, but there are a few moderately priced open source router devices out there. A few months ago, I purchased a Protectli barebones firewall device for $200 USD, and it has worked great for my SOHO use. Of course, you'll have to provide your own RAM & MSATA, but it's much cheaper than some of the other pfsense-compatible devices out there.
If anyone knows of any other pfsense devices available for $300 or less, I'd be interested to know. Thanks!

I just located a card for the Raspberry: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.element14.com_community_servlet_JiveServlet_downloadImage_38-2D25182-2D394661_710-2D367_nethat.jpg&d=DQICAg&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=BioQ-tK_j6bZDXyoL9QCfXogohZu413H1b_1nigONCE&m=fLvlCIvF0J9lKHwupGM_FNrMgYbZT8rvC5Akc4cnAWI&s=eD0Fwhq-Hvngv4QzqGaOt0MNHKViBARErSSSKH7nlEo&e= Quote"A while ago Hilscher launched a little PCB that could connect to the Raspberry Pi using the 40-pin connector on it.

Could it work in your opinion? It won't work without the right drivers. This isn't aimed to high performance network setups (SPI is too slow to drive two ethernets ports).
