Thanks Allebone

I decided to buy the used equipment. The form factor of the Protectlis is very attractive i may buy one in the future.

Just for home allebone


I've since found a HP small form factor workstation on ebay for $250


E3-1230V5, 16GB ram, and I have a spare SDD. so it seems like this would work well if i add a I350-t4 v2 NIC

Hardware and Performance / Pretectli FW6E up to the task?

Hi FOlks

gige fiber showing up soon so have to upgrade my router. I want to run a firewall, route (4 vlans), wireguard and eventually add IDS and IPS.

can the protectli fw6e with 64G Ram and 256 SSD handle this workload?

for a little more $ I can build an ITX based system with an I350-T4 and a 11th generation series 7 8 core cpu versus the 4 core 7th generation protectli.

clearly the form factor of the protectli is attractive.

Many thanks in Advance.
