Hello Fedora ARM hackers,
I'm shopping around for a device to provide basic routing and firewall
functions.
The goal is to provide remote access to an IP camera through satellite
internet connection. To keep the camera and link from getting buried or
abused, I want to limit access to connections from a particular /25. If
using a dynamic IP, the satellite modem uses NAT and does not offer
firewall or port forwarding capability. If using a static IP, a public IP
is routed directly to the inside device, without a firewall.
I'm thinking a small multipurpose ARM device would be a cost effective
solution. Any problems that can't be resolved via ssh will be dealt with
by post or remote hands, so it must be fairly reliable, not require user
intervention to survive power cycles, etc. I'd like a dual Ethernet
device, but a USB nic could do. There will need to be a case or finished
chassis of some sort, preferably one that could protect that second NIC
from accidental disconnection or tampering.
Is there anything on the market that fits the bill, or am I better off with
some OpenWRT supported consumer router, or maybe something else?
