It's too bad Soekris is gone. For home and small-corp networks they made an awesome router and you could put your favorite Linux on there. Trustable devices are hard to find.
Also, if anyone knows of a Soekris like alternative I'm all ears, what to do if my 6501 and my spare 6501 die.

- PhantomGremlin 5y agoIIRC Soekris basically decided they couldn't make any money. Is PC Engines acceptable as an alternative? E.g. https://www.pcengines.ch/apu4d4.htm https://www.pcengines.ch/apu4d4.htm It does have limitations, e.g. only 1 GHz clock speed. The bigger problem for all manufacturers is the chip shortage. E.g. most of PC Engines stuff is "expected ~ 2022". But there may be some stock at their distributors. https://www.pcengines.ch/newshop.php?c=4 https://www.pcengines.ch/newshop.php?c=4 Edit: if you dig deeper you may also find hardware you didn't expect. E.g. at some point OpenBSD was able to run on some Ubiquiti hardware. I don't know if Ubiquiti still make products that can run OpenBSD. https://www.openbsd.org/octeon.html https://www.openbsd.org/octeon.html
