Using Rock64 as a firewall

I will order something and test it out. Regarding why, well, my home router is very old and needs an upgrade and so why not?

I will thoroughly test the R64 implementation prior to using it in production and so hopefully will identify any issues.

My near term plan is to test out the ipfire image on the rock as is. If it passes that smoke test then I will look to add additional accessories including a dedicated Rock64 for the project.

Prob a lot of work getting it ready for the Rock64 and distro based firewalls are a better choice.
Zentyal is Ubuntu and actually the firewall / network / dhcp / dns part actually always worked really well.

Untangle I guess you could build it on debian.

Or Shorewall / webmin which is what I normally do in fact I tell a lie usually just iptables but use the webmin interface.
Lockdown webmin to local host and install openvpn.

Trying to think of more distro based firewalls that are buntu/deb versions.
Webmin gets a lot of criticism in its open state, which makes install and initial config easy then you just lock it down and you can always unlock it for maintenance.
Its pretty damn shit hot but Zentyal works well.

Post way as I might join you in the production of a Rockwall. Smile
Debian Jessie, Webmin & Shorewall look a good bet.
Zentyal no Arm64
Untangle.... mweh
