Review on Protectli Vault FW6A Firewall Micro Appliance/Mini PC - 6 Port, Intel Dual Core, AES-NI Barebone by Jason Gay

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The system is great but there is room for growth

The system is great but there is room for growth. The lack of documentation and quick guides on configuration is a dangerous pair. I did not know what type of memory the unit needed, I did not know what the parameters of the hard drives that could be configured with. I also had a hard time to figure out what website to go to for additional information.I finally loaded it with pfsense and configure the system as a firewall so it will be a little more time for me to tweak the hardware and software. Upfront information like the type of RAM and the maximum that the device would have been great. I would have purchased the maximum amount to be a better responsive system.

Pros
  • Running IPFire now for quite a while with no issues.
Cons
  • The set-up process can be quite complicated for some users
