## Description

The Protectli Vault is a small form factor PC for use as a firewall micro appliance / mini PC / router. Thanks to its fanless design, the Vault is completely silent, very compact and can be placed anywhere. d compatibility: The Vault has been d with many of the most popular open-source software firewall solutions. Compatibility includes pfSense CE, untangle, OPNsense, VyOS, Security Onion, VyOSm, CentOS 7, BSD, Linux, Windows and others. Protectli optionally offers to get open-source device firmware coreboot for your hardware for maximum security, transparency, and auditability. For an additional layer of security, Protectli will soon offer secureboot in conjunction with coreboot. The FW2B Vault is based on a 2 network port design that leverages a low power, but versatile dual core Intel Celeron J3060 CPU. This CPU supports AES-NI, Intel’s Hardware Acceleration for Encryption. The Vault uses standard Intel components (including Intel network ports) which results in compatibility with a variety of operating systems, including a number of open source firewall projects. The Vault is fanless so it has no moving parts, which results in an incredibly durable platform that can be used in less than ideal environments. Its all aluminum enclosure (no plastic here) is a giant heat sink, keeping the CPU cool. The enclosure also comes with pre-drilled holes for an available Protectli wireless kit. The FW2B can accommodate up to 8GB of DDR3L-1600 RAM and 1TB mSATA storage drive. More on the Protectli website.

Review: Läuft in nem LAN Party Rack mit OPNsense als Firewall. Einfach top.
Review: I've been using this over a year and it's been flawless. I installed pfsense on it and I think it's overbuilt for just that but it's been set and forget the entire time. I just don't have to think about it it's been so reliable. I have it running the firewall between WAN and 4 VLANs and it's been great.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many dimm slots ?**
A: 1 SODIMM - up to 8GB DDR3L

**Q: Its compatible with sophos XG Home firewall?**
A: It should work with Sophos, since this is basically just a small computer with two network ports.  I bought one of these and put 4GB RAM and a 60GB SSD in it.  I tried to use it as a basic router with pfSense on it, and the performance was awful.  I had to remove it and put my Edgerouter ERX back in place.  I don't know if the performance problem was with pfSense, or with the network ports.  Installing the RAM and SSD was easy.  I tried to load pfSense from a DVD, but it would never complete booting.  I setup a USB stick to boot and load pfSense, and it was quick and easy.  Performance of the computer itself seems good, but network performance with pfSense was awful.

**Q: What chip is using the nic? is it intel?**
A: These devices have the Intel i211-AT PHY.  Further information about the platform, including a datasheet, can be found on the protectli website

**Q: Is there room for a standard length pci-e ( usb ) expansion card inside? interested in adding a sierra wireless mc7455 (or similar) LTE module.**
A: No, there is not room for expansion cards.  There is only room for the RAM module, the mSata SSD, and the mini wi-fi card option that they sell.
