This is sad.

I built a home OpenBSD router several years ago using the APU2. I haven't touched it/loggied in for several years although I keep meaning to so i can update the OS. It's been sat ticking along nicely doing DNS, DNS filtering, cross subnet routing, wireguard for remote hiccup free.

I'm not sure there's any equivalent now?



$200 ODROID dual NIC H3/H3+ Intel Jasper Lake, https://ameridroid.com/products/odroid-h3

$400 HP T740 Ryzen Embedded thin client from eBay, add Intel PCIe quad port NIC, https://www.neelc.org/posts/hp-t740-freebsd/

$800 OPNsense Ryzen Embedded 10GbE router, https://wiki.junicast.de/en/junicast/review/opnsense_dec740


Only the OPNsense seems to support ECC memory. The Intel boards would be so amazing if not for their artifical segmentation.


I have a Xeon D1521 board that I use which does support ECC. It was under $500 when I bought it, but can't find it now. Supermicro does make a mITX board around it with 2x10GbE for $800. Asrock (which made the board I have) sells a uATX one in mid $500 range (I think I spent $499 on mine[1]).

Those Deciso routers look amazing <3

Thanks for linking!


I'm guessing protectli might be a contender here. I think they're able to router gigabit as well. I think there are some similar variants that can be had from Aliexpress but I certainly wouldn't be running those as my router.



Catalog lists a grand total of 2 (two) boards under Networking, both "legacy".

Meanwhile, AI cloud compute depends on data from edge sensors, https://www.servethehome.com/amazon-building-for-retail-stor...

> Between cameras and CCTV, it now takes over 2000 cameras and 100,000 sensors to run a retail establishment. So much, so that the edge processing demands led Amazon to start its own OCP project to meet the processing and networking needs.


I'm running a quad core 4x2.5G pentium SoC off eBay for $275.
