Hi,
I need a gateway for our new office. I'd like it to run Fedora. What
are my options? I'd like to be able to do the following:
- provide VPN back to the main office
- provide basic masquerading of hosts on inside network
- be small enough to fit on a shelf. Preferably fanless
- web-based administration
- ssh access
Have a look at
https://www.pcengines.ch/apu2.htm These offer 2 or 3
ethernet
ports, small form factor, and fanless. Fedora is not a good choice for this
role unless you are willing to devote time and effort to testing new
versions
as they appear. In that case you would want a couple systems so each new
release could be tested before going into serivice. Pcengines has centos7
images for apu systems.
We're experienced admins, so a simple interface isn't
specifically
necessary, but desired.
It's only for a few remote office workers, so it doesn't have to be
particularly powerful, but should be responsive enough to support
regular ssh and VPN activity.
Avoid USB NIC's. Have a look at pfSense
