We build the hardware, and we stand behind it.
iKOOLCORE began in 2022 with one goal: make serious open-source networking hardware affordable without cutting corners. Our first fanless R1 appliance proved that a palm-sized x86 box could run pfSense and OPNsense as reliably as a rack-mounted firewall.
Today we design, validate and sell every product ourselves - from the R2 Max with dual 10GbE to the open-source JetKVM. Buying direct means genuine stock, full warranty coverage and a support team working in the same building as our engineers.
Why engineers choose iKOOLCORE
Three reasons our hardware ends up in home labs, small offices and embedded deployments.
Open by default
Every appliance ships ready for pfSense, OPNsense, OpenWrt, Proxmox and XCP-ng. No locked bootloaders and no forced subscriptions - install the software you already trust.
Sold direct, no marketplace markup
We sell only through ikoolcore.com, never Amazon or AliExpress. You get genuine units with correct documentation, full warranty coverage and no third-party reseller markup.
Support from the team that builds it
Firmware, setup guides and our product wiki are maintained in house, and support engineers answer at service@ikoolcore.com with real hardware knowledge.

iKOOLCORE by the numbers
What we have built since 2022.
Countries where customers run iKOOLCORE hardware and appliances.
Years designing and validating x86 networking hardware in house.
Post-sale support satisfaction across warranty and technical cases.
Every unit is tested before it ships.
Hardware only earns trust if it survives the field. Each iKOOLCORE unit goes through component screening, assembly inspection, burn-in and full functional verification before it is packed, and we publish our test methodology so you know what your device has been through.
Production runs at ISO-certified partner facilities we audit regularly. We do not cut corners on power delivery, thermal design or ESD protection - because a firewall that fails is a network that fails. If something does go wrong, our DOA and warranty process is documented and handled directly by our team.
