Not much. Have not noticed a real increase in my electric bill. However, it is a mini desktop and designed to be low power. Probably far less then my Plex Server easily.

There are options for much lower power hardware. I may do an experiment to see. Be kinda interesting but also hard to duplicate traffic effect and CPU loads.

However the reliable updates, advanced firewall, physical multi LAN, and durable VPN can't be understated for my use.
