Subject: RE: [fedora-arm] Simple routing device advice (mildly OT)
Hello Fedora ARM hackers,
I'm shopping around for a device to provide basic routing and firewall
functions.
The goal is to provide remote access to an IP camera through satellite internet
connection. To keep the camera and link from getting buried or abused, I want
to limit access to connections from a particular /25. If using a dynamic IP,
the satellite modem uses NAT and does not offer firewall or port forwarding
capability. If using a static IP, a public IP is routed directly to the inside
device, without a firewall.
I'm thinking a small multipurpose ARM device would be a cost effective
solution. Any problems that can't be resolved via ssh will be dealt with by
post or remote hands, so it must be fairly reliable, not require user
intervention to survive power cycles, etc. I'd like a dual Ethernet device,
but a USB nic could do. There will need to be a case or finished chassis of
some sort, preferably one that could protect that second NIC from accidental
disconnection or tampering.
Is there anything on the market that fits the bill, or am I better off with
some OpenWRT supported consumer router, or maybe something else?

You might want to take a look at the Dreamplug or Mirabox from globalscale.
They both have dual Ethernet and cases. I use both for exactly the reasons you
want. I have run fedora on both but currently run slackware on both for
reasons clear only to me.
Both these and the freescale boxes are out of my price range. So I am
sticking with the Cubieboard and adding the USB ethernet.
I MIGHT be willing to pay that price if it had 1+4 ethernet to make it a
router.
