Re: Off-Topic: Travel Router and Firewall

Hi,


IMHO the best open source solution is this:

https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-mr3020

There were other small but not tiny TP Link routers with w/ OpenWRT in the past with built-in switch.
Sth like TP-WR941

Take care,
Stefan

Go to the openwrt site and see what replaced the TP-Link TL_WRN702N.
The new one has 2 ether ports and can be USB powered.

Of course, there are those who will say you should use a raspberry pi
for that...

I am looking for a travel router/firewall for a number of reasons:

- Protect against outside attacks when outside the office/home not relying
on whatever protection the laptop/tablet/phone offers.

- Allow for fast transfer for data between devices without being limited by
the bandwidth of the hotel etc., even without being connected to the
internet.

- Allow for multiple devices even when the hotel etc. only allows one device
to be registered.

The ideal device should:

- Be small, ideally be able to be charged via a USB port.

- Use open-source software that the user can update.

- Allow the user to log on the device and set up the connection with the
hotel etc. which often requires a userid and password to be entered on a
browser page.

- Allow using either a RJ-45 wired or wireless connection to the outside
net.

- Have at least two RJ-45 ports to connect a laptop avoiding WiFi.

- Allow for VPN tunneling.

If anyone has suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated!
