Title: Sonicwall TZ300 compatibility
Post by: HiddenJoker on August 08, 2026, 08:49:25 PM
Hello,
I am new to this forum and have a question to the Sonicwall TZ300 which i currently have (not actively running, just got it for free).
Is it possible to get OPNsense running on it?

Modelnumber would be:APL28-0B4

Thanks in advance :)

It would probably be a challenge. I can't find a hardware spec offhand, but 2 or 4 cores at 400, 800, or 1000MHz sounds like an embedded device, most likely ARM32. Ethernet is likely provided by a switch chip. Neither device type is well supported by FreeBSD (or any other general-application OS).

Sounds like it wouldn't be worth trying to make something out of it... well at least i asked. But if there would be something to test out in the future then i would like to try it out. I got it for free so i don't really care if it would get bricked or something :)
