Review on ZOTAC ZBOX-CI325NANO-U Series Nano Fan-Less Mini PC Intel N3160 Quad-Core CPU Silent Performance Barebone System SSD & RAM Not Included, No OS by Steven Guevara

I should have left this review a while ago, but better late than never, right? I bought it to run pfSense, after getting it I tried everything from pfSense to Sophos and honestly opnSense turned out to be my favorite. I have no problems with pfSense and this is not a review of the software people use for their firewall, I just like the opnSenes review a bit more as they both run on FreeBSD. good for everyone. - Do you get watchdog timeouts? - I was a bit frustrated trying to run this on BSD at first, I was getting watchdog timeouts randomly and frequently, every few days or multiple times a day. is blocked for BSD and I have to reboot to get it back. The logs are full of watchdog timeout errors. I reported this issue to the community and got a fantastic response. We found that you can find version 1.93 of the BSD driver on the Realtek website, which fixed all my problems and my firewall has been working without problems for months now. . I know OpnSense has updated version 17.1.2 and above to use this driver now. It's worth noting that this isn't the same as Realtek cards if you're on gigabit internet. I have a gigabit Xfinity and this firewall gives me around 400Mbps throughput. You may get better performance with other OSes, but this is my personal experience with this device.
