UnboxingĪs you can see in the image below, everything I received was packaged in a box with Protectli branded packaging tape. Protectli does produce models which have 2.5G network interfaces if you are interested in more network throughput. The VP2410 only has 1G network interfaces, which may be adequate for many users who only use 1G networking and/or their Internet bandwidth is 1 Gbps or less. The VP2410 was the first VP series model released by Protectli. The “VP” (Vault Pro) series models by Protectli offer a greater number of configuration options such as a larger amount of maximum supported RAM and the option for secondary storage. In this review, I am going to take a close look at the VP2410, which was released in 2021. I chose a 4 port model since it should be representative of what many home users might consider purchasing due to being more budget friendly than the 6 port models. Protectli is a well-known maker of firewall appliances so I was very excited when they asked if I would like to try out some hardware. I view this is as a great opportunity to expand upon my hardware recommendations page with real world experience and hopefully provide interesting information not as readily available elsewhere. I admit I have not had time to try the proposed solution, I will try this later this week.After writing for this site for several years, I have recently been approached by a couple of hardware vendors to try out their hardware. PS : I saw a few posts mentioning something about a non-standard TCP/IP implementation from Netgear. MODEM: Fail to open serial port /dev/cuau0 on speed 115200Īnyone with experience with Netgear LB2120 can help and share their config with me please ?Ĭould it be that I should be using another Link Interface ? I am not sure how this works to be honest. Link: reconnection attempt 1 in 1 seconds I'm running OPNsense21.7.7-amd64 and FreeBSD12.1-RELEASE-p19-HBSDĭespite all this, I am getting errors in the logsĬHAT: The modem is not responding to "AT" at ModemCmd: label. I selected the only Link Interface prompting on the screen /dev/cuaU0 > Create Point-to-Point device in Opnsense in PPP with parameters similar to that found on the LB2120. > Setup Netgear LB2120 in bridge mode with ethernet on WAN port > Full setup and update of Opnsense (Protectli box)

After browsing these forums and that from PFsense I bought a Netgear LB2120 modem which seemed to be compatible out of the box. I use a 4G SIM as my main network connection. New with Opnsense - switching from Ubiquiti.
