So a couple days ago I posted this post about getting slow speeds to my servers at home from basically anywhere. While I am not seeing HA Proxy or anything peg the CPU I figured it’s either my ISP or my Netgate 4100.

So I am now looking for a 1 or 2u firewall that I can have/place 10gig cards in them. I want to stay below $200 if possible. I don’t care if it is massively overkill, I specked this 4100 based on my actual needs and it let me down.

Needs:

10gig

AES-NI support

4 RJ45/SFP+

Rack mountable

​

Wants:

Ports in front

Quiet (as long as its not louder than my Brocade 6610 we good)

Short case
