TLSense 7500F: 6x Gigabit LAN, Intel 7500 CPU, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM

This is the strongest router we offer. It's targeted towards customers requiring 1 Gbit VPN throughput with many simultaneous connections or very high ISP/IDS throughput. No compromises. Note: this router is actively cooled. 

This hardware is also suitable for virtualization (ESXi, Proxmox, etc.). Hardware supports pfSense®, OPNSense, OpenWRT as well as Windows, Linux, OpenBSD, and other operating systems.

See the hardware benchmark to understand how this model compares to other routers offered in the webshop.

Throughput

This hardware has been internally tested at TekLager to provide clients with reliable information.

• Full 1 Gigabit routing under pfSense 2.4 (CPU load about 0.3)
• 1 Gbit/s encrypted OpenVPN throughput under pfSense 2.4.4 using AES-GCM. 
• 1Gbit/s encrypted WireGuard throughput under OpenWRT.
• See the hardware benchmark to understand how this model compares to other routers offered in the webshop.

Advantages over competing hardware products

• Power consumption - 65W 
• Low total cost of ownership (no licensing fees)
• CPU has built-in encryption support (AES-NI), allowing for high VPN throughput.
• No artificial add-ons required to make your system fully functional
• No additional charges for extra features - everything is included: unlimited users, unlimited firewall rules, unlimited VPN accounts.
• No planned obsolescence - future versions of open-source operating systems will continue to work on this hardware.
