Re: Smallest Fedora box to use as gateway/firewall/VPN

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I know you asked for Fedora, but a standard, low cost router, running OpenWRT, https://openwrt.org/, would likely be better for the tasks you mention. OpenWRT is a minimal Linux system with the ability to install extra packages. It has a simple to use WEB admin system and can do all the things you mention.

I use cheap (£20 second hand on ebay) TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1 routers and OpenWRT 18.06 at work and home. This particular router has 5 x 1Gbit Ethernet ports, Wifi (2.4 and 5GHz), 2 USB ports and has efficient use of power. Can connect to cable/FTTP/FTTC "modems" if needed etc. There are many other hardware platforms that would work with OpenWRT but this one works well and has a good amount of FLASH/RAM.

Hi,
I need a gateway for our new office. I'd like it to run Fedora. What
are my options? I'd like to be able to do the following:

   - provide VPN back to the main office
   - provide basic masquerading of hosts on inside network
   - be small enough to fit on a shelf. Preferably fanless
   - web-based administration
   - ssh access

We're experienced admins, so a simple interface isn't specifically
necessary, but desired.

It's only for a few remote office workers, so it doesn't have to be
particularly powerful, but should be responsive enough to support
regular ssh and VPN activity.

Thanks,
Alex
