Routerbox
I was disappointed with the performance of my Netgate SG-1100 router so I decided to upgrade to this chinese router. It uses around the same amount of power as the Netgate, with an order of magnitude more preformance. Mine is used as a virtualization platform. There are newer models than this on the market, for example ones using the new Intel N100 CPU, but I chose this one since it uses less power. This one can be powered off POE+ from the TL-SG3428XMP. Three of the NICs are passed through to the Pfsense router VM, using PCIe passthrough. The fourth is used as a management port.
It has the following VMs:
The hypervisor used is Proxmox. For years I used XCP-NG, and honestly I still prefer it, but it became too buggy so I switched to Proxmox instead. The transition process was very long and intensive!
