Oh, sorry!
These are available from Europe, but I've heard good things from US about similar boxes, when I searched with "best pfsense computer". Not the same brand, but similar hardware.

Let's see how it works, but I expect it to be much faster than my current ARMv7 box. Of course if you have space for a rack, go with something actively cooled. In our apartment, we expect the router to not make any noise.
- pilsetnieks 6y agoDespite the name in the Amazon listing, it has nothing to do with Mikrotik; also a 1Gbit ARM Mikrotik router/firewall can be had for considerably less.
- pimeys 6y agoHow fast are the ARM CPU they have in their routers, do they support AES-NI and how much data you can push with VPN encryption through their boxes? The current ARMv7 I have goes to about 100 degrees Celsius and loads in the level of 4 to 6 when downloading a bunch of data full speed.
- pilsetnieks 6y agoI'm not sure if they support AES-NI on ARM. I found some changelogs indicating that they do support it on x86 and x64, and most ARM routers list "hardware IPsec" encryption, so maybe?
- OJFord 6y agoI can't read German, but maybe it's a bare Mikrotik router board in a custom enclosure? That said, it also says 'Pfsense', so I suppose more likely it's a typical 'Chinesium' listing.
