ProtectLi FW6B/1G ATT Fiber: Will it work?

[lrosenman]

I have a Protectli FW6B (I3-7100U/8G memory, 250G SSD) running the latest OPNSense.  Will Zenarmor work at a full gigabit line rate with this box?  The nic's are em driver.

Any gotchas? 

I do have another server I can offload the Elasticsearch to.

Hi Ironson,

For a Gbit connection, You need an i5 or higher CPU. Please refer to the following document:

But if you separate the reporting as Remote Elastic, your config can handle it.

I've set it up as remote elastic, but the dashboard is whining about no elastic service. :(

Ok, after getting my license (home), it seems to be doing fine (I think my issue was related to the dhcp6c crash I just reported in the 21.7 forum.

Now that dhcp6c has been stable for a few hours, and remote elastic search is working well, I'm impressed.

with my Bacula full backup running, I still get very decent speeds (without Zenarmor it's 940/940)

Now to start turning on some of the policy stuff.
