Review: works no issues - what to say, i ordered the afinity usb cooling fan to set on top but works just fine!
Review: Descent pfSense box - I was waiting to buy this lovely piece after many readings about the performance, and when I received it was a big shock. I had already a VM with 1 CPU and 4 GB RAM performing way more better than this tank, the speed of the internet was 80% reduced with a basic routing without installing any single application, while my VM is giving me 10% decreased speed with OpenVPN and pfblocker... It got hot also easily, the temperature got high above 50 degrees in normal operation. I am returning it because of the price, it is quiet expensive comparing to other brands and at the same price after buying the RAM and the mSATA, I can build a mini itx pc with proxmox server running pfsense and openmediavault having 2 TB cloud.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Running pfsense as a firewall what type of throughput does this device get?**
A: Unencrypted pfSense can forward at wirespeed, but for an openvpn link, this box struggles to get up to 100mb/s and drops about 30% of packets.  I upgraded from pfSense to VyOS, and now easily 200mb/s encrypted openvpn traffic, no packets dropped, and less cpu usage, only about 30%.

**Q: Who is the manufacturer of the memory and msata? what are those model numbers?**
A: Memory comes from either Kingston, Samsung, or Crucial.  The 120GB mSATA is from BiWin.

**Q: I notice there is an open slot next to the msata drive slot. Is this slot compatible with some sort of wifi and bluetooth module?**
A: It is for a WiFi module. Note that it must be the USB communications type of WiFi module such as found on the Protectli website

**Q: What's its performance like with ids/ips (surricata for example) enabled?**
A: Runs great. Its running around 28% to 48% of memory with 4GB. CPU runs around 15%.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by C***X on 26 October 2022*

My trusty old Netgate sg-2220 died and I needed to get my hands upon a replacement ASAP. This little beauty had next-day delivery in my area, and I was up and running again in less than 24 hours after my original hardware failed. Everything you need is right there, and now I'm considering more of these for light automation duties around the house. HDMI output is useful, as fiddling around with the serial console with the sg-2220 was at times frustrating. Thought has been put into the rear-facing Ethernet and power as well, which works out well on a desk with your network cables facing to the rear.
