Re: Residential Gateway vulnerabilities

[AMuse <amuse () foofus com>]

Probably been discussed (to death) before, but I really like the Soekris 
series of boxes.  Very low power requirement, inexpensive (compared to 
other gear), good performance and can really run!  m0n0wall distributes 
a flash image on a flash card specifically for their hardware.

I have Debian on mine as a home router, with iptables, openvpn, 
fail2ban, dhcp3-server and a few other nifty packages.  From my 
experience the VPN will push about 8Mb/sec - which is more than the 
downstream limit on my cable and WAY more than the upstream.
