Review: Compact, Powerful, and Perfect for DIY Firewalls - My old pfSense router/appliance was rebooting and having issues sporadically. I ended up replacing it with this unit and have not had any issues. The Protectli Vault FW4C is a solid little firewall box—fanless, silent, and packed with 4x 2.5G ports. It runs pfSense or OPNsense smoothly for basic routing, VLANs, and light VPN use. The J3710 CPU and 8GB RAM are fine for home or small office setups, but may struggle under heavy loads like deep packet inspection. If you want a reliable, low-noise box for DIY network security, this is a great pick—just don’t expect enterprise-level performance.
Review: Awesome network appliance for OPNsense! - I bought this mini PC for being 100% compatible with OPNsense. All BIOS settings were mostly set correctly and did not have to change anything yet. Installing OPNsense was super easy, I downloaded the video vs serial version since I wanted to make sure HDMI port works and also I observed RS232 mirrored output. CPU is perfect for this device, not too powerful requiring active cooling, but powerful enough for advanced networking configuration. Bonus Intel CPU does AES in hardware. Swapped out my ASUS router/AP for this and repurposed the ASUS as an access point since the Wi-Fi radios worked great. VLANs and DDNS did not seem to affect performance and heatsink temperature never was hot, always just warm. More experimentation to hammer the device is coming next. I would not hesitate to buy another one! Completely happy with this device!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this run coreboot?**
A: Yes, as of April 10th, 2023, coreboot is available for the Vault FW4C.

**Q: if i connect a switch to this protectli product, will it affect speeds in anyway? switch to the LAN of Protectli**
A: Are you asking about speeds THROUGH the Vault out to the internet?  Or are you asking about speeds on your LAN through the switch?  Generally speaking, simply connecting a switch will not affect speeds, but if you connect a switch and you have lots of devices connected that are utilizing bandwidth, then it is feasible that you could saturate the 1Gbps link between the Vault and the switch.

**Q: Does this replace replace existing modem (cable router modem)?**
A: Hello

The vault can be used in multiple ways but its most commonly used as a firewall which would replace your home router and not your modem.

I'd recommend checking out some of our knowledge base articles on our website. I'll list a couple below that can give you a good diagram of small office/home office (SOHO) networks.

*Basic SOHO Wireless Netowrk
*Basic SOHO Network with Switch

**Q: Is there a similar device with more ram?  ideally 32 gb or more.  can the ram be upgraded, or is it embedded?**
A: Hello

If you're looking for a 4port 2.5G Interface unit that's capable of 32GB, I'd suggest the VP2420. Our VP4600 units which are also 2.5G interfaces can use more than 32GB. Memory can be upgraded in any of our units since they're not embedded but I'd suggest going to our website and checking out our compatibility list to ensure your modules work with our Vaults.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome network appliance for OPNsense!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful platform for home router
*by M***E on January 20, 2025*

I have this loaded up with OpnSense, and it just works. I'm not even using the extra network options, though I have a couple of ideas of how I might. My Starlink ethernet plugs into this, and then I run my ASUS WiFi router off of this. OpnSense handles network security for everybody (and IP assignement) while the Starlink WiFi is still available for guests, but outside of the home network proper. Performance is good, and it doesn't get very hot for home use. My instincts say a modular system where you can swap out a blown network card are the way to go, but in practice this unit is inexpensive enough that it saves time and hassle to replace the whole unit, and it uses less power and has a smaller trash footprint than a full-sized system. Sorry, instincts. One reason I like to run OpnSense is that I can IP address (or MAC address!) block Chinese spy cams from Internet access while still using them on the internal network. Bottom line, take back control of your network connection. Get one of these, and learn to use one of the amazing free, opensource router programs out there.
