We review another 4x 2.5GbE firewall solution to see if this Topton unit is any better than the Hnsun unit we reviewed previously. We also ask that important question: physical or virtual firewall. This time we show how to setup the system with either pfSense or OPNsense running firewall and VPN services (as well as HAproxy.) We also discuss how by using virtualizing and Intel i225 pass-through on this Intel J4125 firewall, one can run more services like Guacamole to access Project TinyMiniMicro nodes. We are going to put this in our new STH Mini PC series.
