We've been using the Alix2 boards undre netbsd-6 for a while for remote OpenVPN boxes and been very happy with them. They can run via POE as well which is a nice option. We use the 3 ethernet models: Internal VPN enabled Ethernet, running dhcpd Internal VPN denied Ethernet, running dhcpd External Ethernet, dhcpcd Optional External wifi, preconfigured wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd Optional USB android tether external (for final fallback :) However those 64bit APU boards look nice... mmm, they even fit the same cases :)
