Protectli Vault FW4B - 4 Port, Firewall Micro Appliance/Mini PC - Intel Quad Core, AES-NI, 8GB RAM, 120GB mSATA SSD

This is a great piece of hardware for running the OPNsense or pfSense firewalls. I installed the latest version of both operating systems on it without any issues. Its been running without any hiccups for several months now.

Computer comes with BIOS not patched for latest vulnerabilities, would not use it in home network, any network.

I have bought many of these for Pfsense firewall projects in the past. These firewalls do not disappoint. These a great and drive packets home to their destinations quickly and efficiently. I recommend this over any closed source firewall or any consumer grade junk out there. Great base for a wired LAN and wLAN project!! I will continue to buy these for any future project that comes up!

Pros

Perfect little box for pfsense.

Perfect for pfsense.

This Protectli Vault FW4B replaced my ISP’s Router/Modem/WiFi Combo:

My Protectli Vault FW4B has its mSata screws locktight/glued from the factory. This makes zero sense considering you have to install your own storage. The screws used are very low quality and strip immediately. Buyer be warned.

This does what it does well and keeps on doing it with no issues. I was able to download documentation and installation was pretty easy.

Im pretty disappointed. I upgraded to this device because my old PfSense box did not have AES-NI CPUs.
