      Hi

      I’m looking to upgrade my SG-2100 to something that can handle symmetric 1 Gbe with IDS/IPS and other packages without issues.

      The trick is I terminate my WAN fiberlink directly in my pfSense with a 1Gbe BiDi SFP in SG-2100, and I’d like to continue doing that.

      Optimally a SG-6100 would be a possible solution, but pfSense appliances are EXTREMELY exspensive here in Denmark compared to their capabilities, and you can more or less buy a small XEON powered HPE server for the price of the SG-6100, so what to do?

      Any ideas for a little celeron j5005 or ATOM powered appliance with a SFP NIC built in?

      Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)

        A bit late but answered for the records too.

        APU6B4 might be the best choice together with the SG-6100.
