Thanks for your suggestion, Joel.

This one looks good, a bit more expensive ($172) than my limit, but
probably I could expand it.

Yeah, there're a lot of devices, but I don't know which one works well
with OpenBSD. Could you please point me to a particular device that you
know works well?

You can get 4 ports j1900's for sub $100 off ali-express. If you don't
care about AES-NI they do 5gbit duplex slow path l3 forwarding just fine:

Guys, thank you all for your recommendations.
I know it only has three NICs, so it's likely a non-started for the OP
Yepp, there are a lot of nice devices with 3 NICs, but I need at least 4
and actually I don't need more than 5.
The Edgerouter 6 is going to be coming out shortly, that is what I am
holding out for to run my home network on
I think the ER6 is going to be retailing for about $220
It's a nice device for the suggested price, but it's a bit expensive for
my project. I need a number of the devices, the idea is not to surpass $150.

This is what I bought for similar purposes.
It has 4 Intel Gigabit ports and their efficiency is 99%.
Thanks Максим, looks interesting, but again it's a bit expensive. The
basic version with RAM costs about $232.
apu4b4 provides 4 intel NICs: http://pcengines.ch/apu4b4.htm
Thanks a lot Karel, I didn't know there was an apu4 board. I guess this is
the device I'm looking for. Though, there's no information on internet
about it, even the official page doesn't provide links to it, it appears
only on the order page. Was it released just recently? Can you confirm it's
working well with OpenBSD 6.2/6.3?
Do you know where to buy it? On the official order page (
http://www.pcengines.ch/newshop.php?c=4) it says "No stock".

Anatoli

Just curious, why this and not amd64 bit with something like the
pcengine apu2 board? I know it only has three NICs, so it's likely a
