Question About Hardware Compatibility - UPDATE 8/14/2018

[TheWhiteBuffalo]

Hello again everyone,

I just found the fitlet2 from Compulab and I am really liking this box. Any thoughts?

I know it only has the 2 Ethernet ports and that's alright with me. Whether I have 4, 3, or 2 everything goes to through a switch anyway.

There is also the SBC-FLT, which I am not totally sure I like that much.

On a side note, while you are at the fit-iot website, you should check out the Airtop2 if you haven't seen it before. Built to order box of awesome!

Still searching,

Looks good, but there's only one way to find out.


Oh BTW, I was quite happy with two NICs, until I needed three!

If your HW offers a free mPCEe-slot you can use a mPCIe2LAN Adapter.

@TWB
It's not easy to find the best hw solution. Everyone needs other conditions.
For me, my hw has to offer the following things: cheap, small and low power consumption.  At least enough performance for my adsl connection (100/20 Mbit).
Since my first steps to OPNsense i use old hw from commercial fw solutions vendors (i.e. Securepoint, Astaro/Sophos, Gateprotect, Ucopia). These hw often sold by ebay (europe) for a handfull of €.

Right now i use an Ucopia Express 250 Mainboard into a Securepoint Black Dwarf G1 case. Both fw build by the same oem (Lexcom). So the Mainboard fits into case without any problems.
Power Consumtion is around 10W.

best regards
Dirk
