I am a huge pfsense fan.
Simply setup an x86 or x_64 box - load and go

It will do everything from firewalling all the way down to routing (bgp even if wanted)

With additional free packages like SNORT and BandWidth D - NTOP and others - 
It is an awesome application -

If stuck let me know I am happy to help.
