Name	OPNsense.my.us
Versions	OPNsense 22.1.2_1-amd64 FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE OpenSSL 1.1.1m 14 Dec 2021
Updates	Updated
CPU type	Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5200 @ 2.50GHz (2 cores, 2 threads)

Notes:

I'd love an Atom-based SuperMicro 1RU system with Intel queueing dual interfaces>
Or a NUC-styled fanless all-in-one.
I have SSDs and RAM
AES desired
