Title: Zenarmor on the DEC850
Post by: NopSled on September 15, 2023, 02:39:20 PM
Hello All -

I'm considering upgrading to the DEC850. I know some people think it is crazy to pay that much for hardware when you can build something a lot cheaper, but I see the purchase as a way to support the project. I also like the form factor, passive cooling, SFP+ and low power specs. Anyway, I wanted to see if other users that had any issues with Zenarmor running on the DEC850 platform? Just wanted to check before making that significant investment in an appliance. I've tried ZA on various hardware platforms in the past year, but ran into several random issues with the netmap driver on those platforms. Trying to play it safe and do my homework first.

Thanks!!

Hi,

Netmap emulated driver is much more stable. What about your throughput and device behind Zenarmor?

Hi Sy -

Thanks for the reply. I haven't actually purchased the DEC 850 yet.  I am currently running ZA on a Protectli box with no throughput issues at all and wanted to have a good feeling for there not being issues on the 850 before I purchased it.

Thanks!

You might also consider www.ipu-system.de, the IPU613 has been running here for one year 24/7 without any complaints, ZA and some more stuff as well without issues.

The DEC850 is running fine after latest update. I'm no xpert but do have the 850. Let me know if I can help.
