I was disappointed with the performance of my Netgate SG-1100 router so I decided to upgrade to this chinese router. It uses around the same amount of power as the Netgate, with an order of magnitude more preformance.

Three of the NICs are passed through to the Pfsense router VM, using PCIe passthrough. The fourth is used as a management port.
It has the following VMs:
