Compact firewall appliance

The Partaker C5 is a fanless desktop network device built around an Intel Celeron J4125 quad-core processor running at 2.0 GHz base and 2.7 GHz turbo. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4-2400 memory and a 128 GB M.2 2280 SATA SSD, and it is ready for FreeBSD or Linux-based router distributions such as pfSense, OPNsense or Untangle.

Suited for small-branch and home-office gateways

The four Intel I210/I211 Gigabit LAN ports and AES-NI support make it a natural fit for VPN termination, multi-WAN load balancing and intrusion-prevention workloads that benefit from hardware crypto offload. Buyers who need more than four wired uplinks, 10 GbE connectivity or a second full-size PCIe slot for additional NICs should look at a larger appliance.

Four Intel Gigabit ports decide the fit

The C5 provides exactly four RJ-45 interfaces driven by Intel I210/I211 controllers, which determines whether the box can serve as a multi-WAN router, a segmented firewall or a compact VPN concentrator without adding external switches. If the design calls for a different port count or speed, another platform is required.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions of the C5 chassis so I can plan the mounting space?

The aluminium case measures 144 x 126.5 x 42 mm and weighs .7 kg, so it fits a standard VESA bracket or DIN rail clip.

Which BIOS setting is commonly missed when installing pfSense on the J4125, and how do I enable it?

Enter BIOS, go to Advanced → Power Management and enable "Auto Power On" (enabled by default) plus "Wake on LAN" so the appliance restarts after a power loss without pressing the front button.

When should I replace the 128 GB M.2 2280 SATA drive, and what capacity can I use?

The M.2 2280 slot accepts SATA protocol SSDs up to the 32 GB memory ceiling; swap the drive when SMART reports wear or you need more log space.
