It's a HUNSN RJ36. It came preloaded with pfSense, as many of them do, but I immediately made a full disk backup and then wiped and installed with a Linux distro because, well, "This is Linux. I know this." You're going to find a lot of people who strongly prefer one over the other, and you may find you prefer pfSense over a "do-everything-yourself" Linux distro if you give it a shot. There are also Linux distros that are targeted for network appliances, and setting them up (correctly) can be easier if the distro is built for the task.
There are quite a few machines in this category, and what's in stock at any given time tends to rotate relatively quickly. I think the one I bought might still be available, but you will want to check to see if there is something with specs that will work better for your use case.
