Never heard of it. Took a quick look and I assume it's arm based? What OS would you run? I'm partial to PFSense for this use-case, but I don't believe they have an arm build available for anything except their own Netgate gear. I'd like a small x86 based machine for the purpose, and it looks like people are now using old thin clients with PCI slots which are also a nice option.
- Havoc 4y agoYou'd need to run openwrt on it - basically the go to ARM firewall distro. I've got the prior gen - R4S - and have been using that as router/firewall for the last year or so. Not for the feint hearted but works. >I'd like a small x86 based machine for the purpose, Maybe check out the x86 rockpi, or odyssey from seeedstudio.

- hotpotamus 4y agoYep, I've actually got some of the fanless guys branded as "protectli" or something like that around the office, I didn't know there were generic ones on aliexpress - that's a good link, thank you. And yep, I've only ever used dd-wrt, never openwrt directly, so not sure about that, but I've no desire to hand edit iptables rules or anything like that - I'll take a GUI any day.
