Review: Very good - Great lil router, can't fault it!
Review: Great hardware for OPNsense - I run a home router on this device using OPNsense. It works perfectly for my purposes, although I think it is perhaps slightly expensive for a mini PC with a fairly dated CPU (a J3060, which is a 2016 CPU). It does however seem to be very stable and more than powerful enough for a basic router/firewall. It might struggle to run more sophisticated IPS/IDS systems. It also doesn't support some newer instruction sets e.g. AVX which could be a limiting factor for some use-cases.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: My isp provides 600mbps, will this device be a bottle neck running pfsense ?**
A: The answer is much more nuanced than a simple 'yes' or 'no'.  Primarily, the answer depends on: 1) What software you're planning to run and 2) What services you plan to enable on that software.  For example, if you run vanilla OPNsense (out of the box configuration) then you can expect to get wire speed (~930Mbps) throughput with a synthetic benchmark tool like iperf.  If you plan to run IPS / IDS and / or VPN, then you can expect much reduced throughput, depending on what the exact configuration is.  Protectli has knowledgebase articles that we've posted on the Protectli web site that help to set a baseline of performance expectations.

**Q: Is this a better model than this to run pfSense? https://amzn.to/2UcqY86**
A: The primary difference between these two models is 2 ports vs. 4.  Either will work great for running pfSense, though another user noted that on the FW4A (this unit is the FW2B), a BIOS configuration change is needed to get pfSense to run properly.  (this will ultimately be addressed with a default BIOS configuration change and it can be worked around by following the docs available on our site).  Additionally, this unit is a smaller (physical) form factor than the 4 port unit.  It runs hot (to the touch), but this is expected and even under a heavy load, the CPU will operate within tolerable limits.  If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to us via the support link on our website.

**Q: How & can the usb be used as a basic nas?
   if so, how?,  and are they auto-enabled & auto-configured under the subnet local-host?**
A: These devices can be used as a NAS with an operating system installed that supports such functionality.  There is only 1 internal mSATA drive (960GB available drive size) as well as an internal SATA port (though no room inside the chassis to mount a drive).  You can attach USB connected external drives, though this is less than ideal for a 'proper' NAS.

**Q: What is the VGA port for?**
A: The 2 port Protectli Vault with the dual core Celleron does not have a VGA port... at least not the one in this picture which is the one Injabe. For video display this model has 2 HDMI ports.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great hardware for OPNsense

### ⭐ Did not arive with advertisted universal power adapter
*by Y***N on 9 November 2023*

The photos for the product showed a power adapter that comes with several different plug types for different contries. The supplied power supply is not only a different style, but does not come with these adapters, meaning I am unable to plug the device in without first purchasing another power supply, which I could have done at the same time had I known.
