This is one of the "official" use-cases.[0] Look at the liste of potential targets[1] if you need a device with more than one ethernet port (or use a USB-network card). The wrt1200ac is a nice device but you will reach the limitations of the hardware if you want to run more demanding Freedombox services on it. If you are willing to pay a higher price there is the more open and more powerful Turris Omnia.[2] greetings, Matthias [0] https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Manual#FreedomBox.2FIntroduction .Advanced_usage:_Smart_Home_Router [1] https://wiki.debian.org/CheapServerBoxHardware [2] https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/TurrisOmnia ___ Freedombox-discuss mailing list Freedombox-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss

That's indeed what I use, with one USB port used to provide a local wifi network, and the OTG port used with g_ether as a network connection to provide a wired connection to a nearby desktop.

[Freedombox-discuss] LInksys WRT 1200AC
Hi guys, Has anybody here turned a Linksys WRT 1200AC into a Freedombox? I'm curious because I think it would be the ideal way to set one up, especially for proxies and stuff like that where the network topology would require that the Freedombox being in the "direct chain of command" instead of being off to the side. I figure that for that kind of thing, the best thing would be to use a router. In fact, I've heard of setups where a Freedombox fashioned from a Raspbery Pi or OLinuXino Lime2 or CubieTruck uses Ethernet for the WAN connection and then makes its own Wi-Fi hotspot with an external USB wireless card. I think Privoxy could be useful, but if I were to use it, I'd like it to be running on the router. Thanks, Josh ___ Freedombox-discuss mailing list Freedombox-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
