Hello Solar, Samuel, Eero, and others who replied about my inquiry, |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Yes, I already have an idea about the existence of the OpenWRT project |
| 19 |
and quite interested with it. But since the website doesn't have a |
| 20 |
final say about the full support or stability of the Linksys BEFSR41 or |
| 21 |
WRT54G used as a VPN client, and I'm also a Gentoo user myself, I asked |
| 22 |
here if it's possible to install Gentoo Linux instead. Not only that, |
| 23 |
as I've also asked on my original post, do you think that having a |
| 24 |
200Mhz processor, 16MB RAM and 4MB flash drive can be a practical and |
| 25 |
viable VPN client box for a VPN IPSec connection? In short, with the |
| 26 |
said hardware specs, do you think it can work as a VPN client without |
| 27 |
degrading performance either the system or the data that passes through |
| 28 |
the said VPN client? |

Thanks again. |
