VPN hardware firewall Securepoint Black Dwarf Pro G5 2.83 Gbit/s

The Securepoint Black Dwarf Pro G5 2.83 Gbit/s is a VPN hardware firewall engineered for secure network management in small to medium-sized business environments. It delivers a high throughput of 2.83 Gbit/s and supports up to 15 concurrent users, combining wired LAN performance with integrated dual-band Wi‑Fi to provide flexible connectivity. Built-in cryptographic support such as AES-based encryption and comprehensive VPN capabilities enable protected remote access and secure site-to-site links while maintaining centralised administration and traffic inspection.

Advantages

The appliance provides high VPN throughput and stable performance for multiple simultaneous connections, while its dual-band wireless capability allows mixed wired and wireless deployments from a single device. Security functions include modern encryption standards and packet inspection to mitigate common network threats. Its compact form factor and focused user capacity make it suitable for locations where space and simplicity are important.

Suitable for

• Small offices and branch sites requiring secure VPN access
• SMBs needing a combined wired and wireless perimeter device
• Remote-work setups that require encrypted connections for up to 15 users
• Environments where a compact hardware firewall with central management is preferred

Key specifications

• VPN throughput: 2.83 Gbit/s
• Maximum concurrent users: 15
• Wireless: dual-band Wi‑Fi support (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)
• Encryption: AES-based cryptographic support
• Connectivity: wired Ethernet ports and integrated wireless access
• Form factor: compact desktop appliance suitable for constrained spaces

How to use

Install the Black Dwarf Pro G5 in a secure location with access to your network's WAN connection and local LAN segment. Connect the WAN cable and LAN ports to your internet gateway and internal switch or devices; configure SSIDs and wireless settings if using the dual-band Wi‑Fi. Access the device management interface through its web console or management tool to create VPN profiles, set encryption policies, define user accounts, and enable firewall rules and intrusion prevention features. Apply firmware updates and security patches through the administrative interface to keep cryptographic functions and network inspection current.

Usage recommendations

For optimal security and performance, restrict VPN access with individual user credentials, enforce strong AES-based encryption profiles, and segment guest wireless traffic from corporate resources. Schedule regular backups of configuration and enable automatic updates where possible. Monitor throughput and connection counts to ensure capacity aligns with operational needs, and place the unit in a ventilated area to maintain consistent thermal conditions.
