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.
