pfSense sell "pfSense hardware" at https://www.pfsense.org/hardware/
I wonder what's the cheapest/most low-power hardware that could do that job? A Raspberry Pi is too underpowered (putting Ethernet on USB is also a big problem), but what's the next step up from there?
We have a dual Ethernet ARM (looks like beaglebone black) in the works.

Not sure about psSense, but I use this box to run VyOS [1]:

https://world.taobao.com/item/520967318043.htm

1.8GHz dual core celeron, 2GB RAM, 25GB SSD, wireless + gigabit LAN, fanless and in a nice box with power supply for $100 + shipping.

Disclaimer: No idea how difficult it is to purchase from taobao internationally and this vendor/model may not be the exact one I'm using, but it gives you an idea of the economics that are possible.

Anything that has the right ports should work.
See my ebay link above.
