ZOTAC ZBOX RI531 NIC's?

usual

Does anyone have this box? Are they Realtek NICs? Any issues with them?

FYI,

I recently purchased this box and ended up using OPNsense on it.

So far no issues to speak of and I am very pleased!

Try using pfSense 2.3-RC on it, you'll be even more pleased. ;D

I didn't realize the awesomeness that was happening with the pfsense GUI!

My brief research had me very interested.

How close is this to a stable release?

Very close, likely a single digit number of days, bar any major showstoppers happening.

Is there a wizard in the new GUI for setting up openvpn? I see one in OPNSense but I haven't tried it yet.

Yes, the OpenVPN wizard is still there (has been since 2.0.x) – VPN > OpenVPN, Wizard tab

Would you suggest waiting for the stable release or would going with the RC right now be fine? Easy to go to stable from RC?

Thanks! I'm excited for 2.3!

The current 2.3 snapshots are nearly identical to what will be the release. Easy to upgrade, not much reason to wait.

Usually when the product page is useless, I dig into the manual or download section as it is more descriptive.

.. I see RI531 Realtek LAN/ GLAN driver (Win 7, Win 8/ 8.1, Win 10 32/64bits)

I'm now running 2.3 RC on this little box and I have no complaints. It's a great little box.
