Review on 🔒 Enhanced Security with Protectli Vault: 6 Port Firewall Micro Appliance/Mini PC - Intel Dual Core i5, AES-NI, Barebone by Jim Booth

Good design. Great solution for home firewall/router. I was using Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (Server Edition) and set up a PfSense VM and a bridge on the LAN side. My WAN is running at 1Gbps (tested) but even after optimizing the cores I was only able to get around 650Mbps throughput. I agree! Update: After more than six months of work, I made some changes to the hypervisor and VM interfaces and was able to increase the throughput to around 950 Mbps with a much lower average VM load. I currently have three VMs running: 1) pfSense 2) FreePBX 3) Ubuntu 32-bit server image with Cisco AnyConnect VM client. This product is a real workhorse! I am very happy with the performance and reliability. I have bought several CompuLab fanless PCs (Intense PC2 and AirTop) and this one is smaller, cheaper and more open.
