Hi All, I've been looking for hardware to replace my 15 year old i386 pc based openbsd firewall with 6 interfaces with something smaller and with less power draw for a while, a long while..:).
I researched and saw things from lanner, axiomtek and portwell, but they were mad expensive. I have seen lots of other recommendations for ubiquit, netgate, APU and soekris etc, all with less than desirable specs. I found this protectli, 6 port intel based device. (wish they had an 8/10/12 port like ubiquiti) https://protectli.com/product/fw6c/ It works flawlessly with openbsd... Diving in a little bit deeper, I found that this thing is a rebranded Chinese product by a company called yanling. I bought from the US company because i'm not familiar with alibaba and the delivery time. You can get the same device here https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Yanling-7th-i5-7200u-Dual-Core_60781226010.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.0.0.245b478f2nsJ3S for for 250 less. ps. they also have options with lesser cpus and less interfaces for much cheaper! Here's the dmesg: OpenBSD 6.6-current (GENERIC.MP) #613: Thu Jan 16 13:52:56 MST 2020 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP real mem = 8487612416 (8094MB) avail mem =
