It's the third time that a complete stranger with zero public posts here asks me to pay with "Paypal family and/or friends"!

           No dice! No posts = no credibility = no Paypal family and/or friends

Sorry, it's not for lack of trust "per se", but if I don't know you because you have never written any public post in this forum, then I want guarantees on the shipment and on the goods because I have already taken several scams that way.

So, just avoid to waste your and my time: I won't accept, don't ask.

Thanks!

They have 2 MX records, the first one (87.54.101.147) does not respond to a SMTP connect request but the second one does (80.209.4.163). I wonder if Google doesn't retry for the second server  :-//
Also, the Let's Encrypt certificate on their web server (which always lasts only 3 months) expired on June 13, 2020. Doesn't give much hope...

Right, that explains a lot:



Of course soekris.eu is dead too.

Looks like you are 6 years too late.

Wait, guys, my colleague also placed a second order in 2022, this time for their Soekris Engineering LAN1641, a quad-10/100Mbps ethernet PCI-card.

So, they not sure what happened after April 2022, but we know till April of one year ago, they were in business because accepted orders and payment via PayPal  :-//

It looks like he still maintains his audio business on soekris.dk. You might try there. I remember that website mentioning x86 and vpn cards for a while since his move back to EU, but they all seem gone now.
The owner of kd85 (which was the official EU vendor for a while) has moved on to biological farming since 2019, so no luck there.

I post here to help others with the same problem I have: how/where to find vpn1411

Some vpn1411 can be ordered from CorpShadow, a company located in Canada.

For 2 items, it will be very expensive
$140.40, Subtotal
$031.67, Shipping
--------------------
$172.07, Total (Tax Excl.)

plus Tax and importing fees  :o :o :o

Sad about Soekris embedded PC business closing.

Soeren, the owner, is a really nice guy and a super HW engineer. He designed one of the best quality PC Clones (Cortex Computers in DK)  ever made. That was well before Soekris. Before that he made a lot of NE2000 compatible network cards and other fun stuff.

And I have never seen as many open spec sheets / parts books as when I went to his office (aka time before everything was PDF) - not a surface without an open spec sheet on it with notes on them. And I have never heard him say no to help or teach someone.
