Running pfsense great for 2months+ so far. Reliable uptime.

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2024

Size: 4G DDR4 64G SSDVerified Purchase

Device is running great with no hiccups so far, 65days of uptime on pfsense. Way to go as an improvement from running pfsense on hyper-v, where windows updates would put my network down every week.
I'm glad with this little micropc/appliance now, much more reliable setup.
To be honest, I did got some problems turning python-mode on pfsense pfblockerng, while I did not have this problem on the same setup but running in diferent hardware. But I'll give it the doubt of the issue being some other software bug.

Solid MiniPC - pfSense Compatible

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

I purchased the 8GB RAM/128GB SSD version of this product to run a home firewall. Overall initial impression was great when I applied power to the unit. I had no issues with initial setup and connection to the device. It boots to Windows 10 (unlicensed). I made a backup and then restarted the device and adjusted the boot order to load from a USB stick. Zero issues as far as that was concerned. Loaded pfSense to the SSD and have not turned back.

Just for fun, I decided to try enabling the wireless adapter so I can manage my firewall from my phone. No issues with version 2.5.0-RELEASE.

Solid box, some quirks

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2022

Size: 8G DDR4 128G SSDVerified Purchase

I purchased one of these to test its applicability for pfsense/opnsense in a Caribbean environment (think - hot and humid, and remote, so no moving parts to fail over time, and high heat tolerance).

Loaded both pfsense and opnsense on the box - both run fantastically well, the only oddity was that opnsense numbers the ports in the reverse order (i.e. ige0 -> port 4 instead of ige0 -> port 1). I hope that won't impact the long-term upgradability of the unit (i.e. upgrade to new opnsense and it numbers the ports as pfsense does, or vice versa, which would break all connections because cables would be in the wrong ports).

The unit did not come with a VESA mount, as advertised, but that's okay as I don't plan on using that anyways. The unit also has some odd things on the motherboard - there is a second MSATA port but it doesn't work even though there's a second SATA port listed in the BIOS (which, I suppose, is the standard black SATA port on the motherboard, even though there's no provision for a 2.5" disk in this enclosure, as other similar units do). There's also a listed USB and COM interface in the BIOS, which are present on the motherboard but not pinned/cabled/used, and two SIM slots that are empty and unused.

There's also no documentation online for this unit, and no printed instructions came with it. Can't expect that at this price point, but at the same time it would be helpful to know if there was, for instance, a jumper or BIOS setting that would enable the second MSATA port, or why enabling the watchdog timer sends the unit into an endless BIOS reboot spiral until you hold the reset button. No website to download things like manuals or BIOS updates is a risk you have to take on something this inexpensive.

All in all, it's a powerful unit, and if you're looking for a small, fanless pfsense/opnsense/untangle box, this is an excellent choice. But I would urge customers to look at other units like the Protectli, or the HUNSN RJ03, which has all the same basic hardware but also dual NVME slots, dual screen outputs, a slightly faster CPU, and provision for a 2.5" drive, for around $50 more (but the upgrades are worth it, IMO).

Started dying at 1-1/2 years

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2024

Size: 8G DDR4 128G SSDVerified Purchase

This thing worked great for the first year I had it, but i'm already having to replace it. I have installed proxmox running PFSense and it worked great for a while, then all of a sudden I would loose internet access.

If I log into proxmox everything looks fine, but I can't access the web UI of PFSense. Reboot PFSense and it will work for a while, and then crash again. I believe my LAN nic is starting to have issues, since I can still access the proxmox web UI (through one of the other onboard nics)just not the PFSense web UI.

I installed OPNsense instead thinking maybe it was a PFSense issue, and boom, same thing. Now the power LED is barely illuminating, and the router only works with a very light load, as soon as im streaming video or downloading at full speed it crashes the NIC and stops internet traffic.

If you are going to use this, maybe buy a USB fan to minimize heat. My guess is the unit got to hot for one of the NICs and now its having issues, but it was able to dissipate the heat to not hurt the processor, but I'm just guessing. Word of warning!

Perfect for a sophisticated VPN router

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

I'm primarily using this as a Speedify VPN router. I installed Ubuntu 20 from a bootable USB drive. There are only 2 USB slots and I didn't have a USB hub so I had to install by only using the keyboard. Everything was easy with the keyboard except I was unable to select the time zone. Easily solvable after the install. Buy a USB hub if you plan on using anything more than a keyboard and mouse. I usually only access via VNC so I don't leave the keyboard or mouse plugged in.

I 'm using this mini pc with 16g memory and a 512gb drive for PFsense and its working great.
It run warm to hot so I suggest if you can to point some fan to the pc.
