All of these AliExpress Protectli knockoffs are great for keeping prices reasonable and I’m yet to come across anyone that’s rued taking the opportunity to buy one.

2.5 GbE NOT 25. That’s the funkiest clickbait bullshit I’ve seen in a while.

Sorry, was what the website returned as the title and I didn’t see it after posting. Edited now.

Yeah, meant the website title, but in truth it’s tough to tell what’s astroturfing bots vs people here. And honestly these things with 6 2.5GbE ports is plenty impressive, not sure why the website felt the need to goose it like they did.

Can the N100 even run two ports at line speed, let alone 6? Having 2.5Gps ports is cool and all but even using it as a 2-port firewall I’d be curious what throughput you could get with it.

I’ve got a Protectli VP2420 running OPNSense at home, which has 4x Intel i225-V 2.5gbe running on a weaker Celeron J6412, and I was able to get the expected iperf performance of ~2.35gbps from some brief testing between two directly connected machines. I didn’t really do any deeper testing than that though, and I’m not currently doing any crazy threat detection stuff.

This has seperate Intel i226-V NICs, so it’s not all on the CPU, but I guess the actual throughput would need to be tested.
