Or if you are patient, and need multiple SIM cards, you can wait for the
APU3a4 or 3a2: http://www.pcengines.ch/apu3a4.htm

It will help to buy the antennae as well.

I have 2 ALIX.2D2 from ebay that I got for about $60 each.  Compared to the
APU, the ALIX.2D2 are older, slower, and dont support gigibit networking,
but should be more than enough for your use case.

Actually, the APU2C2 has Intel i211AT interfaces, em(4).

Like other have said, PC Engines might be your best bet.
Edgerouter lite and PoE are another alternative. They run on Octeon
[1]. They might be a bit less expensive with somewhat smaller form
factor. They also should be easier to get, like $90 on amazon.
Installation might be easier on PC Engines.

You'll notice a lot of modal. I don't own either device, all the
comments are second hand.

PC Engines ALIX.2D2 System Board (i386)
Interfaces: VIA VT6105M RhineIII
I have been using that one for 3 1/2 years now as a router and FW - no
complaints
or for a little more you get
PC Engines APU.2C2
which is amd64, has far more RAM and three Gigabit-ports.
Interfaces: Realtek 8168
Look for a Bundle; it includes board, wallwart, memory-card and cabinet.
Cabinet has lower profile than the one for ALIX, only 168 x 157 x 30 mm

You're welcome

FW Hardware

[L. V. Lammert]

There have been some good discussions lately about HW capable of running a
lot of traffic, .. but this question is about the other end of the
spectrum.

Have a need for a small FW appliance that can be used to protect a single
machine and provide a simple way to whitelist a single IP or two.

Two HW ethernet ports, OBSD compatible, small form factor, low cost.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!
