PC Engines WRAP running m0n0wall




I’ve been looking at a few router / firewall devices, including Cisco, and it looks like there is a better option of using a PC Engines board runnning Debian. There are units available that ship with monowall installed, and honestly that might be a better option, I’ve heard that BSD have a very reliable TCP stack. Actually Monowall looks pretty impressive anyway.

Debian on WRAP

Long list of embedded linux-capable devices

Setup a PPTP VPN on Monowall


Setup a PPP VPN through STunnel

I think this is the item I’m going to get:
Netgate m1n1wall PC Engines hardware with m0n0wall

BSD IPSec VPN Help

Interesting but vague article on using iproute2 to create tunnels


This monowall routing device is more expensive but likely more powerful than I need

This store also sells PC Engines items

And this thread about the VIA ACE padlock is cool.

1U Rackmount VIA 1Ghz Nehemiah Padlock 2-10/100M LAN 1-Gigabit Ethernet Firewall/VPN/VoIP Platform
RM1U CV860A3U10N


Conclusion, The PC Engines WRAP with m0n0wall installed is a good choice for me because of the following reasons:

  • BSD - open source
  • PHP and XML based configuration files
  • Inexpensive and very low power consumption

Therefore, I’m going to buy a Netgate m1n1wall!
