I've had great luck with pfSense: https://www.pfsense.org/download/ It's BSD-based, so it uses pf rather than iptables for filtering, but it's easy to use, very feature-full, and doesn't have any trouble running on machines with Atom-class processors. Configuration is generally done via the GUI, though I've had occasion to change some things manually via command-line operations. > I think the most challenging thing I'm likely to want to configure > my router to do is switch from its outbound ethernet connection to > USB when a tethering smartphone is attached (since our DSL is MUCH > slower than LTE, and sometimes we really need the greater speed.) pfSense will support any USB NIC supported by FreeBSD, so you'll have to research its compatability with your hardware. -- Paul Heinlein <> [email protected] <> http://www.madboa.com/ _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
