I am searching for a machine with good build-quality and a well known brand.
By budget is maximum 650 EURO (Delivery inside Europe).
Yesterday I orderd a Protectli VP2430, I tought it was a quality brand. But people have scared me and told me it is just a re-branded Yanling (ylipc.com). Chinese OEM. Dont know if it is good quality.
Thank you!
EDIT: I forgot to write that we will use QoS SQM and no DCO.
N150 cpu supports AES-NI instructions which means it will be able to reach gigabit to single client using dco kmod easily. No difference who mounted the box together.
I am worried it will be a risk to have it on 24/7. Maybe I am just overthinking I dont know. Netgate 4200 Max seem to have similar price, but dont know if it really support OpenWRT.
With all respect to your reply.
That device is not made to be run 24/7, and it dont even have 4x lan ports and it is also cooled by a fan. If the fan dies i dont want to know what happens.
I am searching for a better alternative made to be run as a router just like the Protectli.
Do you also need Coreboot bios (in case of x86 device) like on the Protectli ?
Is OpenVPN a hard requirement or is WireGuard ok as well?
(when using WireGuard this https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/rb5009ug_s_in may be a viable option)
