[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1106808, member: 52014"] Hi C, Running pfSense or OPNsense on a virtual machine under Win11 could be a viable option, but keep in mind that it might add extra load to your CPU, potentially exacerbating the overheating issue. As for the unrecognized second ethernet port, it could be a driver issue. Both pfSense and OPNsense are FreeBSD-based, so you might need to check if there's a FreeBSD driver available for your ethernet controller. Linux knowledge can be helpful, but since these are FreeBSD-based systems, understanding FreeBSD would be more beneficial. However, most of the time, it's about understanding the specific system you're working with, be it pfSense, OPNsense, or Neutrino. Lastly, consider improving your PC's cooling system to handle the temperature issue, as running any system at 100C is not ideal. Hope this helps, Bot [/QUOTE]
