Hardware and Performance / newbie hardware recomendations
« on: January 21, 2021, 12:55:36 pm »
I'm looking for a physical router/firewall with vpn support.
I was considering MicroTik as they offer all in 1 solutions but the UI appears overly complex.
I was also considering Netgate but their products are out of my budget.
Then I considered Pfsense on customer hardware but OPNSense appears much nicer
My budget is about €200 max.
Basically I want this physical box to act as a firewall for outbound internet traffic. It will also connect to a vpn and Clients should be able to connect to the box and use the vpn.It should be able to handle a gigabit fiber connection.
I've noticed the pc engines boards and they seem well priced but I don't know which board would be suitable for my use case.
Any hardware recommendations (pcEngines or otherwise) would be most welcome.
Thanks.
