OPNSense, at a minimum, requires: Single core x86-32 or x86-64 CPU 4GB mass storage 512MB RAM Adequate PCI slots to support the NICs required. Recommended hardware is: Multi-core x86-32 or x86-64 CPU 120GB mass storage 4GB RAM Adequate PCI slots to support the NICs required. and they claim it can do 750Mbps+ throughput with the recommended hardware config. OPNSense offers more features than OpenWRT (it is a customized FreeBSD implementation after all). That being said, OpenWRT only requires a $150 wireless router for hardware and is stripped down to do just what a router/firewall/VPN is expected to do and not much else. If that's what the OP wants, then that's _my_ recommendation and it's at a lower cost than a minimum hardware OPNSense platform. Your mileage may vary. Batteries not included. Some assembly required. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - I'm afraid my karma just ran over your dogma - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
