Zotac CI327 for Gigabit Internet
-
I am thinking about moving away from an Asus AC87 router and setup pfSense on a Zotac CI327. Would it be able to handle a gigabit internet connection 1000/1000?
I plan to also run openvpn and some AD filtering on the box. Would the CPU be enough for such tasks?

It uses Realtek NICs, stay away from it. Get something with Intel NICs.

CI327 passmark 1800, not leaving you much breathing room from what I read, plus I don't like fanless boxes that rely on vent holes to get rid of the heat, would prefer to look at the Qotom/minisys also.

@grimson @SammyWoo I cannot find QOTOM boxes where I live but I have found Partaker. Could you help me choosing the right device for my needs (in OP)? Thanks!
