        It's very similar to some of the boards discussed in the Vendors sub-section:

        The D525 is getting pretty old now though. There are many faster and more efficient CPUs available.

            What I mean is that board is one of many generic boards coming out of china from many sources. It's unlikely anyone here will ever have tried that particular board. The only thing you can get is a general impression of the pitfalls of ordering directly from an unknown manufacturer in China and those are in the Vendors sub-forum.
            I can see no reason why that board wouldn't work. All the components on it are well tested with pfSense. However there's no real way of knowing unless you can persuade the supplier to try pfSense/FreeBSD on it. Sometimes you get a badly written bios that won't play nicely with anything other than Windows.
