you could probably buy an old thinkpad, add external lan ports to it and call it a day.
I have 12 years old router now, is it still safe to use it?

Try to find embedded board with celeron c1037u. They were discontinued ~2 years ago but have much better singlecore peformance than modern celeron/pentium J or N series crap. Which wont go over 350-500mbit.
Or get some desktop dual core <32nm mobo/cpu and drop down clocks and voltages a bit. Also make sure it supports aes-ni if you want to run vpn with decent speeds eg 100+mbit.

>What is the cheapest mobo I can get to make a router with pfsense? I need just 2 GbE.
Couldn't you do it with a raspberry pi?

what the fuck do you think? it's probably in a DDOS botnet
if you're destitute, at least buy a wrt54g or something
