If you want to realize open source firewall solutions, we offer router hardware with 3-8 network cards for 1 Gbit or 10 Gbit.
Many of our customers use this hardware to implement firewall security solution, VPN server or Radius server with captive portal. This hardware is used itself for complete solutions with RouterOS such as: Hotspot server, VPN & firewall, PXE server and Traffic Shaper.
The hardware we offer is tested for compatibility and TCP throughput after the default installation with the following OS, see table below.
