  • I have one of those n100 mini pcs with 4x2.5G NICs. My ISP device does have bridge mode but I never enabled it. Being new to opnsense, the NAT rules gave me a headache but got it to work fine before long.

    Downside to the device is no bios updates ever. Otherwise it’s perfect for me. Debian + incus + opnsense VM. Some additional Docker services in separate VMs. Fanless, so completely silent in the living room next to the modem. And plenty of power to spare. I’m not close to maxing out the cpu by any stretch.










  • If you need networking, go for the ESP32. There’s nothing easier or close that I know of, and incredibly cheap too. Downside is the power draw. If that is a concern and you really do want to run it off a coin cell for any prolonged time I’d say WiFi is out the window altogether, and I’d pick something efficient but more modern than an attiny, like any small arm cortex m0+ devboard or similar. If you want to experiment with low power radio, see what you can come up with with some lora transceivers.
