Have you ever used pfsense for a firewall using a computer or dedicated device?

This is an indirect follow-up to my older question about using a firewall on your home network:

I use the windows firewall, but I have direct access to my router. I've set up "least privilege" options into my network; deny everything and apply only the devices within my network to have access. It's not the best option, but has been ideal so far.

I have never installed pfsense on a physical device. Only on virtual machines that I set up for testing/training/JFF purposes.
