Review: Works fine with Pfsense - It's working perfectly fine, I used it with my desktop pc and with tiny pc. I am using it for PFSENSE, Pfsense does detect it on tiny Lenovo pc M93Q, but you have to plug it on yellow usb port, otherwise it won't work, will keep disconnecting. Other option, if you are plugging it to tiny pc, is to install proxmox, this usb adaptor could be put in any USB port, proxmox will detect it and then use it in any VM\CT. Regards, M
