I discovered a router with the portforwarding UI from my ISP, but it doesn’t work for me. I need a new one. I decided to explore alternatives and learn while upgrading. My goal is to set up a Raspberry Pi paired with PfSense. An older computer wouldn’t fit due to size and power needs, so I’m opting for a Raspberry Pi with a USB adapter. I also found out you can use them together for Pi-Hole. Since PfSense isn’t supported in Docker, can I run both PfSense and Pi-Hole on the same Raspberry Pi? Or would I need two separate devices?

PFSense isn't designed for the Pi, which only supports one NIC, making it run smoothly there. Consider trying a setup with dual NICs and an x86 CPU. PFSense also includes a DNS filter that can handle most of what PiHole does.
