Review: Quality router firewall box - Got this for a pfsense box. Installation of the software was a piece of cake on this hardware. Software configuration was a bit more challenging but I attribute that to the software not hardware. It has now performed like a champ for a while. Blows my old Xfinity all in one box out of the water, everything in the house is faster and I can truly inspect the traffic for malicious content.
Review: Good For Untangle/PFsense router - Don't expect anything from the wifi. Solid router. no issues, strong performance.

Don't expect anything from the wifi. Solid router. no issues, strong performance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for a firewall
*by S***N on October 31, 2023*

I'm an IT professional of over 30 years. As well as my regular job, I also do IT contracting with small businesses and private individuals. Because of this, I have a home lab that many IT pros would be envious of. I have a 1Gbps fiber internet feed, which may sound like overkill for just me and my wife, but it isn't, given that I run my contracting side business from home, and my wife frequently also works from home. I feel like I need more security than the typical home internet user. Because of this, I got the Protectli Vault 6, configured with 8GB of RAM and a 120GB SSD. I've installed pfSense on it, which installed without a hitch. I have the internet feed on the WAN port (of course) and my home network on the LAN port. With pfSense properly configured (which I have), I get the full gigabit of throughput. I've set up a second LAN, isolated from my home one, on the OPT1 port to work on client devices with when I have to bring something back to my workbench. This protects my own network from anything my clients may be infected with. Lastly, I've set up a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) where I am playing with an internet-facing server. A DMZ is really just another LAN specifically set up for servers to isolate them as much as possible from everything else, only allowing traffic specific to the server in question. Even with all these different "zones" defined on the firewall, this little unit performs like a champ, every bit as well as the far more expensive firewalls I use at work and at some of my clients' locations. It has a nice small footprint, perfect for small offices, and it runs cool without any fans at all. It has a 90W power supply included, but I've measured closer to 45W being drawn by mine. If you bump the RAM and SSD up to the highest configuration, then add another internal drive (which it comes with the wires to support) and use all 6 network ports, I could see it getting closer to 90W power use.
