This firewall appliance mini pc delivers fast throughput for network routing and virtualization projects. Built around your choice of N100 or N305 processors with DDR5 memory, it runs OPNsense, pfSense, or Proxmox smoothly. The aluminum chassis keeps six 2.5GbE network interfaces cool under sustained data transfers. Features and Benefits
- Six Intel i226-V 2.5GbE network ports - Gives you fast multi-gigabit routing and traffic separation across distinct VLANs, WANs, and subnets
- Passive cooling fin design - Transfers processor heat into the solid aluminum shell so the unit stays cool without fan noise
- Support for single-channel DDR5 memory - Handles complex firewall rules, IDS/IPS filtering, and multiple virtual machines simultaneously
- Integrated RS232 RJ45 console port - Lets you access the system BIOS and terminal directly during setup and headless maintenance Applications
- Dedicated perimeter security gateway running OPNsense or pfSense for small offices and labs
- Low-power Proxmox home lab server hosting virtualized network services and container workloads
- Multi-WAN load balancing router for remote sites that need steady multi-gigabit connections

Product Category: Firewall Appliance Mini PC. Q: What network hardware is inside this firewall appliance mini pc? A: The board features six Intel I226-V 2.5GbE Ethernet ports for high-throughput routing. It pairs with either an Intel N100 or Core i3-N305 processor and fast DDR5 memory.. Q: How well does the passive cooling perform under heavy network routing? A: The solid aluminum chassis acts as a large heatsink to cool the processor and network controllers passively. It maintains stable throughput without thermal throttling even under continuous packet inspection.. Q: Can I run virtualization platforms like Proxmox or ESXi on it? A: Yes, the processor supports hardware virtualization for running Proxmox VE, ESXi, OPNsense, and pfSense. You can pass the physical network ports directly through to your virtual firewall machines.. Q: How long is the warranty period for this router server? A: It includes a two-year standard hardware warranty covering the board, processor, and power supply. Support technicians help diagnose any hardware failures or interface issues.. Q: Why buy this unit instead of a standard off-the-shelf consumer router? A: You get full control over your firewall rules without recurring subscription fees or locked firmware. The six 2.5G ports also provide room for multi-gigabit fiber connections and local network segmentation..
