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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

WOW - I might just buy another one .

WOW. This is a great piece of equipment. I ordered the pre-built version of this vs the bare-bones version.I installed CentOS 6.9 using a USB stick. The install went very well and there appears to be no issues during reboot that another reviewer remarked about.This is solid and a bit larger and heavier than I expected (not a bad thing). I think that is because it is a metal case - rather than cheap plastic that you would have expected.The heat sink (case) is warm to the touch, but not hot at all - even after an extended heavy CPU load.I plan to use this as a remote VPN client to connect two network locations. I have had no issues in my burn-in/testing period.(no compensation received for this review - it really is a very good piece of equipment.)

Pros
  • The FW6 is an outstanding box. Great for hypervisors such as Proxmox.
Cons
  • It has a relatively high price tag compared to other similar products
