I probably used the wrong term for what I am wanting to do. And a Pi3/4
would easily handle what I am wanting to do. And it would not even been
a real firewall persay anyway. 

It would be handling packets for a BBS that thinks it is getting data
from dialup modems LOL. 

But yes, if I was wanting a "firewall" for my entire network, I'd run
it on better hardware, multiple gb interfaces, etc. But I have always
thought that routers do a fairly good job of all that, so I just use
routers.
