Checkpoint 4800 Appliance
Hey!
I've found a 2nd hand / refurbished Checkpoint 4800 firewall ( CPAP-SG4800-NGFW ) and I've seen people talking about that it's possible to use it with pfsense.
Could someone confirm that currently uses something similar?
If so, I have a few questions:
- What's the power draw
- Can it fully use 1G FTTH? ( What I can find it should be easily able to )
And, any other words of advice on this?

Yes, that device will be able to do 1gb FTTH. The CPU is older, an Intel Core2 Quad Q9400, but it's still 64bit and will run the newest pfSense versions. It won't support AES acceleration in hardware and no hyperthreading (but still 4 core) but it still fast enough for gigabit.
I'm not sure the power draw while it's actively running, but the information I found online said Single Power Supply Rating: 275 W, Power Consumption Maximum: 140 W. Good find!
Thanks for the quick reply and information!
Current auction offer is 50 EUR ( starting price ), and no bids since it got posted 3 days ago, I'll consider it
Keep your eye on it for sure. I paid about double for a smaller 2200 series about 3 years ago.
