Recommendation for a dual Port Network card under 100€ ? (Proxmox with Pfsense)

[Cassiopeia]

Hi, I'd like to set up Pfsense or Opensense on a proxmox server.

I wanted to ask if you have any recommendation for a dual port network card for proxmox.
My budget is about 100€, maybe a little bit less.

I was thinking about

"10Gtek Networkadapter for Intel 82576 Chip 1G Gigabit Ethernet"

 

[AKA]

Which card?

A Dual Port 1G Card i'm guessing?

Products from 10Gtek that i had we're all fine and working reliable. Never had a network card though.
But it's an Intel Chip, so there's nothing much so say about it.

Only that you would get a Dual Port Intel 10Gbit/s card RJ45 for 150 Euros which might be the better solution on long term.

Hi, thanks for the reply, then I will buy this card and if we get all running, I'll invest in a better and more exprensive card. Unfortunately my Boss is not so easy with money on IT essentials, but I'll get him to this point.

Get yourself a dual port e1000 NIC on eBay.
Can be purchased around 20 Bucks

He's right, That works too.

I just like to don't buy things twice, so even if i don't need 10GbE now, i won't sell a server without it, since infrastructure and the design of it most likely changes overtime.
And those cards are getting really cheap. Especially the 10GbE SFP+ cards costing only 40 Euros.
