Re: [PLUG] Low Power Consumption Firewall/Router

I use an EdgeRouter X: https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-EdgeRouter-Advanced-Gigabit-Ethernet/dp/B00YFJT29C/
Not exactly open source but it's based on vyatta (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vyatta) and it's very capable.

I've used a Soekris 5501 as my firewall for like 8 or 9 years now. I
started with Slackware, but Debian runs pretty well on there too. Runs
like a champ, but they are a bit expensive. The 5501 is EOL so you
could pick one up for less than $200 IIRC. There's a newer model
available, the 6501, with better flexibility in regards to storage.
I've been happy with the hardware but holding off on upgrading to the
6501 & exploring other options as myself. I'm interested to hear
other's suggestions.
