Review: Ideal for OPNsense or PFsense - An ideal unit for homelab firewall or mini PC
Review: Well made - no problems so far and I'm considering another - I installed pfSense CE on this. Super easy install. The CPU doen't break a sweat. I felt it ran a tiny bit hot but nothing alarming so I put a tiny USB fan on it anyway just to extend the life. It sits there at about 30C now. Nice mounting plate.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Please can you tell me the throughput for connectivity when using pfSense on this hardware?**
A: Under a default configuration of pfSense, this hardware is capable of full wire speed (approximately 930Mbps) throughput from LAN to WAN.  Please be aware that different configurations will affect throughput in different ways, but under default you can expect full line rate.

**Q: Do you supply the COM cable in the box?**
A: A DB9 - RJ45 COM cable is provided by default for every unit.  We also sell a USB to RJ45 COM cable, as many modern computer don't have a DB9

**Q: Is PfSense preinstalled?**
A: pfSense is not pre-installed.  Any device that is purchased from Amazon does not have an Operating System Installed, however we have several guides on how to install several operating systems available on the Protectli web site.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***S on 11 December 2024*

Geschäftlich setze ich schon lange auf Sophos. Nun wollte ich auch unser Homeoffice besser absichern, bzw. die YouTube-Ergüsse unserer Kids ein wenig einschränken. Klappt hervorragend. Einfach das Sophos Home Image auf einen Stick herunterladen, Stick einstecken und hochfahren. Achtung: Ich hatte nach der Installation einen schicken Konsolenbildschirm erwartet und wollte das Ding schon zurücksenden. Einfach die Sophos Start-IP eingeben und siehe da, man kann dann über das Webinterface die XG Installationsprocedure durchlaufen. Und natürlich darauf achten, das WAN und LAN vertauscht sind (gerade wenn man sich per Browser einloggen möchte), dass kann man nach der Installation problemlos unter den Schnittstellen ändern. Das Teil läuft schnell (startet gefühlt schneller als unsere original Sophos XP Hardware aus 2022) und für den Heimgebrauch mit X Tablets & Handys ein paar Macs und IoT Geräten reicht es allemal (bis zu 50 IPs). Während des Betriebs wird es nicht warm und der Stromverbrauch hält sich mit unter 30W auch in Grenzen. Da kein Lüfter verbaut ist, vergisst man schnell, dass das Teil irgendwo in der Ecke vor sich hinbrütet. Also für alle die sich mit der Materie auskennen und keinen Bock auf eine Red haben oder unnötig noch Abos etc. dazukaufen wollen, ggf. ein paar Familienmitglieder ein wenig Einbremsen möchten und der normalen Fritz Firewall nicht trauen, go get it....
