what hardware would you guys choose for a (homeish) router? Thinking about hardware that is able to route at least 1.5Mpps / 1Gbps IPv4 NAT (ofc v6 throughput ;-)

I mean disasm and I both have apu2c4s :P
<andi->
I know those..
<andi->
they aren't really on-par with what I currently have..
<andi->
an oldish i5 4th gen, 2x 1Gb Intel NICs
<andi->
the CPU on the APUs is usually a bit weaker :/

Oooh, those run coreboot? Sweet
<clever>
cransom, gchristensen: to make port forwarding work from within, it also needs an SNAT rule that fudges the source ip to be that of the router
<clever>
then the .105 machine sends replies to the router, which can un-mangle the replies
<clever>
and send them to another lan machine
<disasm>
sphalerite: yeah, coreboot. So far I'm loving mine :)
<disasm>
although I wish ipv4 would die so I could simplify my firewall rules, lol

I finally got IPv6 at home here in Scotland just a couple weeks ago, whoop whoop
<sphalerite>
my university still doesn't have IPv6, whoop whoop
<disasm>
sphalerite: does your ISP do prefix delegation?
<sphalerite>
yep
<sphalerite>
it was about time they got IPv6 rolled out too, they never had enough IPv4 space for all their customers (it's a fairly new company) so they have to use CGNAT for it
