Server 2🔗

Chinese fanless pfSense box
Intel J4125, 4x 2.5gb Intel i226 NIC, 128gb SSD, 8gb RAM
Bought from Ali, but the link no longer works.
Used it as a router for a while, but didn't like OPNsense / pfSense and had some connection issues.
Not sure if it was a hardware issue, my configuration, or what, but I just got fed up with it.
Now using as light networking services host.
