Protectli has just dropped a game-changer, the Vault Pro VP2430. Building on the solid foundation of the VP2410 and VP2420, this new device takes performance, thermal management, and networking capabilities to a whole new level. Remember how I supercharged my network with pfSense, as detailed in the article Build Your Own Router: pfSense Basic Install and Getting Online? Well, the VP2430 is here to amplify that experience.
At the heart of this beast lies Intel’s brand-new N150 Quad-Core CPU, delivering the kind of reliable power you need for everything from hardcore firewalls and routing to demanding home labs and professional applications. You asked for more Vaults with the latest Intel N-series CPU, and Protectli delivered! They knew the N150 was coming and waited to give us the best possible performance.
The VP2430 isn’t just about raw power; it’s packed with features that will make your jaw drop. Starting with four Intel I226-V 2.5GbE ports, support for up to 64GB of DDR5-4800 RAM, integrated 32GB eMMC storage, and a mind-boggling three M.2 slots for optional NVMe SSDs, Wi-Fi 6E cards, and even LTE/4G/5G modems.
But wait, there’s more! The fanless, all-aluminium chassis doesn’t just look sleek; it acts as a passive heatsink, ensuring silent operation and incredible durability. The modular internal heatsink design improves cooling and makes installing a 2.5″ SSD a breeze. There’s even an RS232 header for integrating GPS or other sensors.
Compared to the already impressive VP2420, the VP2430 boasts a 46.6% higher PassMark score, supports faster DDR5 RAM with up to 50% more bandwidth, and delivers almost double the VPN speeds! We’re talking ~101% faster OpenVPN and ~88% faster WireGuard. I may even buy one just to play with…
The Vault Pro VP2430 is available now and shipping worldwide, with initial stock on Amazon US and more marketplaces coming soon. Remember, every Protectli Vault is backed by its industry-renowned support team, based in the United States with additional locations in Canada and Germany.
So, whether you’re a networking pro or a hardcore enthusiast, the Protectli Vault Pro VP2430 is ready to take your network to the next level.
