Turnkey firewall appliance
N1121 — a real firewall for offices and labs
A fanless, silent appliance purpose-built to run pfSense or OPNsense: three 2.5G Intel LAN ports, AES-NI VPN acceleration, and TPM 2.0 — enterprise-grade network security without the enterprise licensing.
3× 2.5G LANAES-NI0 dB
Why this platform
3× 2.5G Intel LAN
Intel network controllers — the ones the BSD firewall community prefers — for WAN, LAN, and a DMZ or segmentation port at multi-gig speed.
AES-NI acceleration
Hardware crypto keeps WireGuard, IPsec, and OpenVPN tunnels at line rate without saturating the CPU.
Fanless and silent
Passive cooling — no fan, no noise, no dust intake. It disappears onto a shelf or wall bracket.
TPM 2.0 + watchdog
Hardware root of trust and automatic recovery for an appliance that must simply stay up.

Frequently asked questions
Does it come with pfSense installed?
The appliance is quoted as a validated hardware configuration; the OS image is confirmed per order. We can advise on pfSense or OPNsense installation and settings — compatibility is validated for the exact model and release.
Is 2.5G enough for my connection?
For gigabit and multi-gig WAN with VPN and filtering, yes. If you run heavy IDS/IPS or need 10G uplinks, step up to a Core-class or rackmount platform — send the workload and we will size it.
Can it do VLAN segmentation?
Yes — with three physical ports plus VLAN tagging, you can separate WAN, LAN, guest, and DMZ networks. Describe the topology in your enquiry.
