This OK for home network?

Hello guys, I live in Hong Kong and getting some of these deals off amazon out here can be hard. I found something on taobao that looks like it would work (and a good price too) but before I buy I wanted to ask here first.

This is for my home network getting a full 1000 through, and would also like to run a few programs like snort, VPNs and python for sshuttle (great at getting around the GFW when i'm in china)

Highly doubt the D510 is going to be able to handle 1Gbit/s. WAN only utilizes 1CPU and the single thread performance of this CPU is low.

EDIT:

Looking through the forum, it seems you'll be lucky to get even half the speed you're looking for. Most benchmarks are in the 200Mbit-400Mbit range.

If you are able to spend more money then your choice (¥ 690.00) and you might be having luck
to get your hands on this board or complete PC you would be get a strong platform that is capable
to handle 1 GBit/s on the WAN Port and Snort proper together.

Board:
Jetway NF9HG-2930
US $199.95
大約 HK$ 1,549.63

Complete box:
4 Intel GB LAN Ports
US $289.95
大約 HK$ 2,247.13
5 Intel GB LAN Ports
US $319.95
大約 HK$ 2,479.64

4 Core Intel Celeron @2,16GHz
2 miniPCIe & SIM slot (mSATA, Modem, WiFi)
4 or 5 Intel GB LAN Ports
max. 8 GB RAM

Strong enough to serve you many years with ease, maybe with Squid + SquidGuard & Sarg on top.
Jetway Mainboard JNF9HB-2930 board for ~254 € or 1.770 Renminbi (2.100 HK$) have a look at
eBay Hong Kong or elsewhere in Hong Kong.

You sure a N2930 is going to nat a 1Gbit WAN?

Both, the Intel Celeron J1900 (04/2013) will do for 100% and the N2930 SOC will do it too, but it is newer
(01/2014) also a dual core Celeron G3260T @3,2GHz will be able to realize the 1 GBit/s at the WAN & Snort
but with more electric power usage.

I only knows that the PPPoE is only running on a single CPU core and that might be dropping the
throughput some, but if you are connecting to the Internet over a static public IP address it would
be no problem.
