Thank you so much for the information. So are issue is Argentina will only let us source hardware from Agrentina and unfortunately we cannot find a vendor that is able to source a new Checkpoint appliance in country. I did find two other options with the Open Source network security appliance but I would feel more comfortable if I actually knew someone who has loaded GAIA on one of these platforms:
Firewall, OPNsense, VPN, Network Security Micro Appliance, Router PC, Intel Core I5 3320M, RS03, AES-NI/6 Intel Gigabit LAN/2USB/COM/VGA/Fan, (8G RAM/512G SSD)
VNOPN Micro Firewall Appliance 4 Intel 2.5GbE NIC Ports Fanless Mini PC, Network Gateway Soft Router Mini Computer Intel N3700 Quad Core, Support AES-NI, 8GB DDR3, 128GB mSATA SSD
