Low power device for 1gig internet
WireGuard will be less resource intensive and give you closer to line speeds on HP T620 level hardware, use the WireGuard kernel-mod package from /u/vbman213 which was just released with pfSense plus latest and will be in the upcoming pfSense CE 2.5.2, but can be sideloaded into 2.5.1. That should be able to handle close to 1g with pfblocker. CPU intensive Packet IDS like suricata/snort would knock this level hardware back a good bit though.
- Since pfsense doesn't support wireguard any more, I want a VM to just serve as a router for wireguard / anonymous VPN traffic. Then have pfsense route a subnet of traffic through the wireguard router. What's the best software to do this?

Wireguard with Proxmox server
Note that wireguard was removed in v2.5.1. You'll need to copy the txz packages from the latest release here to your pfsense install via sftp, then pkg install name.txz to install wireguard

pfSense Plus Software Version 23.05 is Now Available for Upgrades
I see that the package system_patches 2.2.2 and its installed but I see here https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commit/de76acb1d15fdff5587739ffdf6bb92eeb6b6e22 that 2.2.3 is apparently there but not able to see it as an update.

Upgrade Suricata to the last version
Running 23.05, why is suricata still on 6.0.10 version while 6.0.11 brings some netmap fixes and was committed to devel branch almost a month ago ? Update Suricata GUI package to support version 6.0.11 of the binary. ยท pfsense/FreeBSD-ports@7b3e46e (github.com)

Any plans for pfSense to re-introduce Wireguard into the base system?
The latest WG package version in pfSense+ 23.05-devel is currently 0.2.0_1, and the details of the commits on GitHub say "WireGuard support is now included in base."

Internet drop on Updates/Reloads
I have installed PFBlocker Devel 3.2.0_3 on PFSense+ 23.01 and it works perfectly! I was able to install and do a basic configuration. I also added a feed or two for blocking ads, adult content etc. When I click on Update or Reload, I'm unable to use the internet until it is done reloading or updating and everything is back to normal after. It doesn't take very long and this is a home office so I'm not super worried about it. However, some of our clients made some changes without knowing this and caused some minor outages.
