I should have said OPS… oops… What I mean is you want a powerful CPU. the more powerful the CPU and the faster the ram the more OPS …
The issue with running these firewalls on tiny processors… like mine if you check out Phaselockedloopable- PLL's continued exploration of networking, self-hosting and decoupling from big tech

It will absolutely destroy your throughput. I have 600 symmetric from comcast. It went down to about 349 sym. The faster the CPU the less this occurs. The faster the ram the less this happens. Does that make sense?
AES-NI is a must
So if you are building and have budget room save on the motherboard as much as possible. Just get a gold power supply (you dont need much) save on the SSD as much as you can… and Toss the best RAM and CPU you can afford in
