Looking also for tangible differences between Protectli and Qotom. Will be running VMs and/or Docker with ports reserved to specific tests.

So for example some of the Protectli/Qotom ports might act as client devices on another router's LAN, while the port next to it might be connected to the WAN-side of the same targeted router. Goal: The intended use is a small-mid sized Linux CICD system which will exercise (load and functional test) third party devices, including both the WAN and LAN ports of other routers. r/HomeNetworking - Simpler networking advice.Īre each of the Protectli FW6 (series) ethernet ports "real" network interfaces? Or are some of the ports acting as an integrated switch? r/pfsense - for all things pfsense ('nix firewall) Might be able to find things useful for a lab. r/hardwareswap - Used hardware, swap hardware. r/buildapcsales - For sales on building a PC r/linux - All flavors of Linux discussion & news - not for the faint of heart! Try to be specific with your questions if possible.
