abelbeck [EdgeRouter-X VPN Endpoint]
@@ Line 3: / Line 3: @@
 AstLinux supports many different x86 (32-bit and 64-bit) hardware devices, so when a remote VPN endpoint is desired in your AstLinux constellation it makes sense to first consider yet another AstLinux solution.  Quite often AstLinux is the best solution ... familiarity, full-system firmware upgrades, and if true, you can quit reading any further.
-As an alternative for a remote VPN endpoint, the Ubiquiti Networks [[https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-x/|EdgeRouter-X]] occupies a special sweet-spot of quality hardware and low price  (currently, January 2019). While similarly priced to a [[https://www.raspberrypi.org/|Raspberry Pi]] complete system, the EdgeRouter-X has quality hardware designed for networking, including a built-in 5-port Gbit ethernet switch.  Additionally, the EdgeRouter-X is only 40%-50% of the cost of the **least** expensive multi-NIC x86 system required by AstLinux.
