Recommended Systems

1. OPNsense

   • • Based on FreeBSD, offering excellent compatibility with Intel hardware, especially Intel NICs, with perfect support for the i226-V.

     • Powerful and comprehensive features: Stateful firewall, Intrusion Detection/Prevention (Suricata), VPN (OpenVPN, WireGuard), web filtering, traffic shaping, high availability, etc.

     • Modern, intuitive web interface for easy management and configuration.

     • Active community and commercial support options available.

     • Supports hardware encryption acceleration (AES-NI), which is supported by the N100/N200/i3-N305 processors, enhancing VPN and encryption performance.

     • Efficient utilization of the ZIPC02DC-D's hardware resources.

   • Installation Recommendation: Install on an M.2 NVMe SSD for optimal performance.

   
   

2. pfSense CE (Community Edition)

   • • Also based on FreeBSD, with excellent Intel hardware compatibility and stable support for the i226-V.

     • Long history, large user base, and extensive documentation and plugins (pfBlockerNG, Snort, etc.).

     • Feature set highly overlaps with and is equally powerful as OPNsense.

     • Also supports hardware encryption acceleration.

     • Traditional interface but fully functional.

   • Installation Recommendation: Also recommended to install on an M.2 NVMe SSD. Note that Netgate (the company behind pfSense) now focuses more on its commercial version pfSense+, but the CE version remains sufficient for most users.

   
   

3. IPFire

   • • Based on Linux, featuring a newer kernel which often provides faster support for the latest hardware like the N-series CPUs.

     • Also provides good support for Intel NICs.

     • Clean design using colored zones (Green, Red, Blue, Orange) for network interface management, offering a clear conceptual model.

     • Includes a powerful firewall engine, Intrusion Prevention (Suricata), VPN (OpenVPN, optional WireGuard), proxy, QoS, and other features.

     • Relatively low resource consumption.

     • Supports hardware encryption acceleration.

   • Installation Recommendation: M.2 NVMe SSD or SATA SSD are both suitable.

   
   

Recomended Working Environment

Lightweight Office & Daily Use
Ideal for home PCs, student homework, front-desk tasks, and basic productivity (documents, spreadsheets, presentations), web browsing, email, and 1080p video calls. Runs smoothly on Windows 11, Chrome OS Flex, or lightweight Linux distros (e.g., Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Linux Mint Xfce).

Home Entertainment & Media Center (HTPC)
Connects to TVs/displays for local or streaming (Netflix, YouTube, Plex, etc.). The UHD 24EU iGPU supports hardware decoding of AV1, VP9, H.265/HEVC, and H.264, enabling silent, fanless 4K playback. A cost-effective, quiet HTPC solution.

Networking & Firewall
Suited for SOHO routers (OPNsense/pfSense), VPN gateways (OpenVPN/WireGuard). The 4-core CPU handles 1Gbps–2.5Gbps NAT, firewall rules, and VPN encryption (AES-NI). Ultra-low power usage minimizes 24/7 operational costs. Requires dual/multi-NIC mini-PCs.

Lightweight Home Server/NAS
Supports file sharing, backups, and small Docker workloads (Home Assistant, Pi-hole, Nextcloud). Compatible with OpenMediaVault or TrueNAS Scale (light loads). Not for heavy transcoding or VMs. Energy-efficient for 24/7 operation.

Virtualization & Other Uses
Runs 2–3 lightweight VMs/LXC containers (e.g., OpenWrt + Docker + Windows test OS) on Proxmox/ESXi. Also fits digital signage, industrial controls (fanless options), and coding/learning environments (Linux, Python). Low cost and power draw make it versatile for entry-level setups.

Packing and Accessories

The product includes: carton, machine, SATA cables and other wire harnesses, power adapter, spare screws, protective foam, and warranty card.
