Hi
I tested Wyse 5070 with J5005 CPU + 16GB RAM + LAN based on M2+E with Realtek 8111f. SSD M2 128GB
Added Suricata + Crowstrike on WAN and Zenarmor on LAN.
GEOIP for blocking large number of IPv4 addresses. 20+ users.
It works, the CPU usage usually vary from 30-70%. Power consumption: 4.8-7.8W, seldom up to 9.x Watts.
It is OK, but after few days I decided to come back to my Lenovo M710q with i5-7500T.
I have much more power with 10.8-11.6 Watts. The only disadvantage is that it has active cooling (very quiet)
My internet line is 600/60

Just checked your CPU vs J5005 and my i5-4590T I use for my test lab (Lenovo M83).
Comparing benchmarks, I think you can go with this, what you have.

Hi,
If gigabit limit is ok for you, you can have Lenovo M710q for pennies with i5-7500T onboard.
This you can buy for ca.a 50-70EUR. Adding 2nd LAN on M2+E slot will cost you less than 10EUR.
I use Realtek 8111f, absolute no issue with that card.
Suricata, Zenarmor, OpenVPN site to site (24/7/365), 3*WG, 2 extra Vlans, c.a. 20+ devices: 10.8-11.6 Watts (I monitor the power usage non-stop)

I had similiar issue with WG on version Opnsense 25.1.4_1
Old WG clients were working fine, but it was impossible to have successful connection from ANY NEW client created today.
Moreover Suricata started to hang, flooding the log and my miniPC went with temp over 70C (where normally I have 46-52).
Solution which worked for me:
a) stop suricata
b) remove WG from Suricata inspection.
c) remove completely WG peers, the instance and the interface
d) make a fully NEW WG: the instance, peers and the interface
e) check if that works
f) if works, add in the Suricata interfave WG
g) check again
