Products Datasheet

CPU Comparison

Recommend Operating System

1. Networking Devices/Firewalls:

   • pfSense / OPNsense: Full hardware compatibility (6 Ethernet ports, Intel NICs), optimized for older platforms, extremely low resource consumption (ideal for i3/i5), powerful and stable.

   • iKuaiOS: User-friendly for Chinese users, excellent hardware compatibility, outstanding traffic control and behavior management, well-supported on older CPUs.

   • Panabit: Professional traffic control, hardware compatible, ideal for deep traffic analysis scenarios.

2. Lightweight Servers/Basic Applications:

   • Debian / Ubuntu Server (LTS): Extremely lightweight, stable, strong community support, perfect compatibility with legacy hardware, minimal resource usage. Ideal for basic services (file server/NAS/Docker).

   • Proxmox VE (PVE): Top choice for virtualization! Far better compatibility with older hardware than ESXi. Maximizes limited resources (8GB RAM) to run multiple lightweight VMs (e.g., iKuai + Debian).

3. Routing Systems (Non-x86 Optimized):

   • RouterOS (ROS): Hardware compatible, extremely efficient, but steep learning curve. Best for networking experts.

Products Design

Recomended Working Environment

I. Core Recommended Scenarios (Highly Advised)

1. Enterprise Edge Networking

   • Firewall/Router:
     ✅ Deploy pfSense/OPNsense: Utilize 6 Intel ports for multi-WAN load balancing/VLAN segmentation
     ✅ Deploy iKuai OS: Ideal for Chinese environments with behavior management + multi-line traffic shaping
     Hardware synergy: Perfect Intel NIC compatibility, watchdog timer ensures long-term stability

2. Lightweight Network Service Gateway

   • VPN Server:
     ✅ Run OpenVPN/WireGuard (on Debian/OPNsense)
     ✅ Hardware encryption: Leverage CPU's AES-NI instruction set

   • DHCP/DNS Services:
     ✅ Deploy AdGuard Home + Pi-hole (Ubuntu/Debian)
     *Power efficiency: <30W total consumption for 24/7 operation*

3. Industrial IoT Edge Computing

   • Protocol Gateway:
     ✅ Connect sensors/PLCs via 8x GPIO, run Node-RED (Debian)

   • Data Collection & Forwarding:
     ✅ Deploy MQTT Broker (Mosquitto) + Telegraf (time-series aggregation)
     *Industrial durability: Wide temperature tolerance (0-60°C) for harsh environments*

II. Virtualization Scenarios (Requires Strict Load Control)

▶ Solution: Proxmox VE (PVE) Hypervisor

• Typical Workload:

   

   

   VM1: iKuai (main router, 2 cores + 2GB RAM)   VM2: Debian (light services e.g. DNS/monitoring, 1 core + 1GB RAM)   LXC: AdGuard Home (ad filtering, 0.5 core + 512MB RAM)  

• Critical Constraints:
  ❗ Total RAM ≤7GB (reserve 1GB for PVE)
  ❗ Avoid Windows VMs (excessive resource demands)
