There's a lot of suspiciously similar looking hardware out there, but what I would offer as our commitment to our hardware is that we not only create the hardware design, but we also port and support coreboot ( ) firmware for our hardware. However, recent hardware (such as our FW4B, VP2410) is our own bespoke design. TBH, our original FW1 was just an off the shelf box that we sourced from China. That said, the Chinese market is full of knockoffs and copycats.

Plenty of people have had plenty of success doing so. Second, there is certainly nothing wrong with much of the generic Chines hardware out there. (J/k, it's a reasonable comment and we're happy to address it). If I need to tone down the links and the sales pitch I'm happy to do so - please let me know.įirst, we will try not to take too much offense at the implied lack of creativity in just reselling 'generic Chinese hardware'. That's not my intnet - i'm trying to highlight why many people may be more interested in purchasing from Protectli than generic hardware from China.

Mods, after reading my reply as follows, It's reading like a sales pitch.
