Despite the name in the Amazon listing, it has nothing to do with Mikrotik; also a 1Gbit ARM Mikrotik router/firewall can be had for considerably less.
I can't read German, but maybe it's a bare Mikrotik router board in a custom enclosure?
That said, it also says 'Pfsense', so I suppose more likely it's a typical 'Chinesium' listing.
How fast are the ARM CPU they have in their routers, do they support AES-NI and how much data you can push with VPN encryption through their boxes?
The current ARMv7 I have goes to about 100 degrees Celsius and loads in the level of 4 to 6 when downloading a bunch of data full speed.

I'm not sure if they support AES-NI on ARM. I found some changelogs indicating that they do support it on x86 and x64, and most ARM routers list "hardware IPsec" encryption, so maybe?
These are available from Europe, but I've heard good things from US about similar boxes, when I searched with "best pfsense computer". Not the same brand, but similar hardware.

Let's see how it works, but I expect it to be much faster than my current ARMv7 box. Of course if you have space for a rack, go with something actively cooled. In our apartment, we expect the router to not make any noise.
