Hardware firewall SecurePoint Black Dwarf VPN as a Service — Desktop, 1.85 Gbit/s throughput, 0.31 Gbit/s VPN, dual-band Wi‑Fi, 10 users

The SecurePoint Black Dwarf VPN as a Service is a compact desktop hardware firewall designed for small offices and remote-branch protection. It delivers up to 1.85 Gbit/s firewall throughput and 0.31 Gbit/s VPN throughput, supports TLS inspection at up to 300 MB/s, and integrates dual-band Wi‑Fi (2.4 / 5 GHz) with Wi‑Fi 4/5 compatibility. The device offers wired gigabit Ethernet ports alongside an external antenna design and AES-based wireless security, and it is sized for deployments of up to 10 users.

Advantages

The appliance combines high firewall throughput with integrated VPN capabilities to protect network edges without requiring large rack space. TLS inspection capability helps maintain visibility into encrypted traffic, and the external antenna design improves wireless coverage where needed. Built-in dual-band Wi‑Fi and AES security simplify connectivity for small teams while wired gigabit ports provide consistent uplink performance.

Suitable for

• Small offices, branch locations, and remote sites with up to 10 users
• Sites that need combined firewall, VPN and wireless access in a compact desktop unit
• Environments requiring TLS inspection for encrypted traffic monitoring
• Deployments where AES-based Wi‑Fi security and dual-band operation are desired

When it may not be suitable

This desktop firewall is not intended for larger enterprises or locations with more than 10 concurrent users where higher VPN or firewall throughput is required. Sites that need rack-mountable appliances, extensive modular expansion, or carrier-grade throughput should consider higher-capacity models.

Key specifications

• Firewall throughput: up to 1.85 Gbit/s
• VPN throughput: up to 0.31 Gbit/s
• TLS inspection performance: up to 300 MB/s
• Wireless: dual-band 2.4 / 5 GHz, Wi‑Fi 4/5 compatible
• Wireless security: AES-based encryption
• Maximum recommended users: 10
• Form factor: desktop with external antenna design
• Wired connectivity: gigabit Ethernet ports

How to use

Place the SecurePoint Black Dwarf on a stable desktop surface and connect the WAN and LAN networks using the gigabit Ethernet ports. Attach the external antenna(s) and position them for optimal wireless coverage. Access the device management interface through a web browser or management tool to configure network policies, VPN tunnels, TLS inspection settings and Wi‑Fi parameters. Apply AES-based wireless security settings and register up to 10 user endpoints. Monitor performance and logs regularly to ensure throughput and inspection operate within expected limits.

What to consider before purchase

• Number of concurrent users (recommended up to 10)
• Required VPN and firewall throughput for peak traffic
• Need for TLS inspection and its impact on inspected throughput
• Wireless coverage needs and placement for external antennas
• Whether a desktop form factor meets your site mounting and space requirements

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, enable only the necessary inspection modules, keep firmware up to date, and place the unit centrally for Wi‑Fi coverage. If encrypted traffic inspection is critical, verify that peak inspected throughput requirements fall within the specified 300 MB/s limit and consider segmenting high-bandwidth services to dedicated links.
