While I like the form factor I’m unsure about the built in Ethernet and it’s suitability under openbsd.
I’d try out opnsense and if that fails to work I’d have a look at openwrt. Opnsense just feels a bit more polished but both are more than capable for what you talk about.
If you plan on setting it up as a router-on-a-stick remember you need vlan support on the switch it’s connected to.
That's good advice thank you!
Do OpenWRT and you’ll be golden, but for opnsense, I don’t know
How's power consumption on it?
Absolutely amazinfg, it’s insanely well optimized since it’s made for low power hardware
That's great to hear thank you! I think I'm going for this machine.
