You can't do a very good firewall with less than that. 100 Mbs is a reasonable minimum. > You want something low power - 64 bit ARM?

Three of the four machines I just checked don't have libboost on them, and the fourth may not actually need it. For the actual firewall, I suppose I could repurpose my GL-AR750S-Ext. https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-ar750s/ It currently serves as a WiFi access point only. That's the only place where I really require two Ethernet ports. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
