Yeah that’s kind of the downside. I considered using a Raspberry Pi but it felt weird to use its Ethernet port alongside some micro USB → Ethernet adapter that probably wouldn’t hit 1 Gbps anyway.
I used an USB Ethernet adapter on my OPNSense setup and it wasn’t stable enough. It basically required a reboot every other day. A PCI-E ethernet card solved my stability issues. Just my experience.

Ah, so it just needs another ethernet port, if I understand you correctly? So an ethernet adapter would work?
