Yes they do ship, afaik it can take a while

Yep, custom duties are there. If you have an IEC, you can get it at 18%, else would be around 42%. I got it a while ago, early 2020. But yes you can get it by express courier from Alibaba, you'd get it in less than a week.

Yeah looks similar to that, mine uses a J3160 CPU. I think at the time it came to 130 USD or so incl shipping to India plus customs of about Rs 1500. So around ~11k ish. I am running OpenWRT as I found it more easy to configure for my needs and the fact that it runs Linux.

There are many similar variants now. The models from Protectli for example are mostly rebrands of devices available on Alibaba.

good deal

 

[MrGordon]

It's a barebone device though ie without memory or storage. So I had to add 4 GB RAM and a USB storage separately.

Guys if you ever buy a device make sure you get one with Intel NICs just in case you think of installing pfSense.
