If you plan to use a RPi4 as a router: 1. It can handle up to 650 Mbit if you use firewalling with iptables 2. You only need one (1) interface if you use VLAN

If you plan to use a RPi4 as a router:
1. It can handle up to 650 Mbit if you use firewalling with iptables
2. You only need one (1) interface if you use VLANS.

- btgeekboy 5y agoIt's the "router on a stick" method. You use a VLAN-capable switch, and connect the upstream connection (cable modem, ONT, etc) to a port on one VLAN, while the rest of your network is on another VLAN.

- fermentation 5y agoI’m not too versed here, does using this project to make the RPi4 handle DNS make it a router? I’d rather not sacrifice nearly half of my gigabit bandwidth…
- louwrentius 5y agoNo, it would if it is in-line with your internet connection, thus forwaring ip-traffic.
- dsissitka 5y ago> 1. It can handle up to 650 Mbit if you use firewalling with iptables Is that at 1.5 GHz? I was surprised by how powerful Pi 4s are. At 2 GHz they'll do cake at gig.
- louwrentius 5y agoCorrect, I don't know how faster Pis would perform.
