TLSense 10210U: 6x 2.5Gbps LAN, 10th gen i5 CPU, 256GB NVMe SSD, 16GB RAM

TLSense routers are intended for customers needing high VPN throughput or high IDS/IPS performance in addition to high routing performance and low latency. This model has roughly 12x better OpenVPN performance than APU.

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.

Tips:

• You can install a regular 2.5 inch SATA drive to extend storage to multiple TB. 
• Use the HDMI port to enter into BIOS. (press F11 at boot)
• It's possible to enter BIOS using a serial cable as well. See the RJ45-serial cable.
• Note: This model does not work with the WiFi cards and internal LTE modems offered in the store.

Throughput

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

• Full 2.5 Gigabit routing under all popular operating systems (pfSense, OPNsense, etc).
• Full 2.5 Gigabit encrypted WireGuard throughput under OpenWRT.
• See the hardware benchmark to understand how this model compares to other routers in the webshop.

Advantages over competing hardware products

• Very low power consumption for so powerful router - 15W TDP 
• Low total cost of ownership (no licensing fees, low power consumption)
• Completely silent. 0 dB - passively cooled. No moving parts.
• 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, VPN accounts.
• No planned obsolescence - future versions of open-source operating systems will continue to work on this hardware.
