    &gt; Router<p>&gt; Ethernet: 1 WAN Gb, 1 LAN Gb<p>&gt; $250000<p>Awesome.

    Turris Omnia NG is also &quot;open source&quot; and has 2x 10 Gbps SFP+ and 4x 2.5 Gbps ethernet ports. StartWRT and Turris OS are both forks of OpenWRT, which is kind of annoying. The Turris project has been around a long time and has an active community.

    Single WAN, Single LAN, is not actually what I would (or do) use for &quot;home-based self-hosting&quot;. That hosted stuff gets its own network.

      that is what vlans are for. but having only gigabit ports is limiting here.

        RISC-V is quite wimpy this far, so it’s not even clear if it can saturate a gigabit with features turned on. The one benefit is that it doesn’t have Intel IME&#x2F;AMT, AMD PSP or ARM TrustZone backdoors built-in, but I would be extremely surprised if the Chinese SpaceMiT CPU didn’t have Chinese backdoors of its own.

    BananaPi already sells boards with same CPU for around $100 with maybe $15-20 extra for case<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.banana-pi.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;BPI-F3&#x2F;BananaPi_BPI-F3" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.banana-pi.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;BPI-F3&#x2F;BananaPi_BPI-F3</a><p>Is it doing anything different ? I assume at least made in US so it can be sold as router and not dev board ?

      Are the banana pi boards able to run a mainline kernel or close to it? I have a memory of getting real close to buying one of those, and then reading a comment on HN about having to run their Frankenstein setup

    &gt; Ethernet: 1 WAN Gb, 1 LAN Gb<p>Really? In 2026? Pass.<p>It needs to be _at_ _least_ two SFP+.
