I’m getting tired of the limitations the D-Link software imposes on my ability to handle routing MY way. I’d like to turn my K6-450 (El Chupacabara has returned and he is comming for your children!!) back into a router/firewall machine. As opposed to doing it all myself, I’d like to fine a nice little pre-built package that handles the following. They are not all required features… just desired.
- Web serving with PHP. HTTP/HTTPS. (apache?)
- Basic NAT/PAT firewalling.
- Web-Based (or Linux-Based GUI) for configuration.
- Arbitrary port forwarding.
- VPN Passthrough. (IPSec and friends)
- Caching DNS Proxy.
- SSH. (for remote upgrades and operation without KVM)
- Save and restore of configured static routes.
- VPN for remote access to local network. (PoPToP? vtund? both?)
- Scripting to allow dedicated bandwidth to specific IPs/MACs when traffic is detected.
- Ability to restrict network access from certain IPs/MACs/Subnets/Interfaces and require web-based (or otherwise) registration for use.
- QoS.
- SMTP gateway. (exim?)
- DDNS updating.
- Debian based.
If you know of any such projects, please let me know. LEAF looks okay, but not great, and the LRP is dead.
