small form factor router recommendations

hi all,

i'm looking for an SFF or single-board computer that can run FreeBSD,
for routing (FTTC, IPsec, Wireguard) on a home/soho network.

specifically, i'd like:

- at least one SFP cage
- at least one 1Gbps RJ-45 port
- a CPU fast enough to run PPPoE and ipfw at 2Gbps (1G up / 1G down)
- arm64 or amd64
- passive cooling or quiet fan
- preferably not too expensive - around £/$200 would be ideal

an SFP+ cage and/or a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port would be nice but aren't
required.

i looked at the SolidRun ClearFog CN9130 [0], which looks like it meets
all my requirements, but it seems like the CN9130 SoC isn't well
supported in FreeBSD. 

can anyone recommend a suitable system?

	thanks, lexi.
