Two NICs and a giant passive heatsink (or huge slow/quiet fan) would make this a great router material.

- brunoqc 2y agoI wonder if I could run OpenBSD on this.
- toredash 2y agoSame.

Also the introduction of the H4 model line, straight from the horses mouth https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=168&t=48344 https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=168&t=48344 with all the gory details.

- seanlane 2y agoIf you're feeling a little adventurous, you can find Intel N100 boxes with 4-6 NICs: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/cwwk-topton-nxxx-quad-nic-router.39685/ https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/cwwk-topto... Went down this route and haven't had any issues with heat or having to replace heatsinks, add fans, etc. that others mentioned, but your mileage may vary. Runs opnsense on proxmox, along with some other containers. It's been a great little box.
- zokier 2y agoIt has only 9 (old pcie 3.0) lanes though which is bit limiting. In theory you should be able to use 8 of those lanes and get something like 4x10Gbe, which would be actually really neat, but that requires that the lanes are not squandered for anything else.
