B One - Impressive Capability with Incredible Value

I’m asking myself exactly the same question: is this limit of 3 simultaneous users true or is it a mistake?
How is it possible to limit the number of simultaneous users to such a low number when it’s more powerful than the 20X?

Can anyone with this model confirm this?

The B One is based on the same platform (SoC) as the BR1 Pro 5G, it’s running the exact same firmware type, so seems to be ‘limited’ in the same way. The Balance 20X is running a different build which was only supported on a few models that used that same platform (SoC).

I hope it’s just a software limit that can be changed with a firmware update.

On a Balance 20X I can setup more than the specified 15 Remote User accounts, so I’m guessing the limit is only for concurrent connections but not sure if it’s a hard limit or a recommendation.

As the lowest model we are using is the B20X I’d need to setup 16 OpenVPN connections to test what happens, which is not easily tested from one client device…

Anyone with a B One (5G) that can test this out?

I have never actually received an answer but I just bought 6 units and will test one soon and report back

Sorry read your response out of sync but yes I am going to try and test this in the next few days

Under Remote user access, Open VPN type
I have created 4 users to test this, so I guess the limit is on active connections

FW8.5.1 beta has:
[Beta 1] [Remote User Access] Increased Remote
User Access user limit for PPTP, L2TP, and OpenVPN
on B One series devices to 15 users

So great news and it can now be a full replacement for the B20X.
