Pfsense appliances were overkill for my use case. So, after a bit of research, I bought Ubiquiti’s EdgeRoute Lite (https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-lite/ <https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-lite/>). They are around $100 and have been running them at multiple locations for the last couple of years. Runs EdgeOS which is a fork of Vyatta which is based on Debian. I think it pulls 7w idle and has been super reliable.
Ubiquiti released two new and cheaper versions. EdgeRoute X ($50) and EdgeRouter X SFP ($80) but I haven’t really checked them out. -- Karthik Poobal kart...@poobal.net Skype: poobal OpenPGP Public Key: https://poobal.net/poobal.gpg > On Jan 25, 2016, at 8:45 AM, Shannon Roddy <sro...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Yeah.
