Main difference is cli vs web, really.

What are you tying to build? You might try a routerstation (pretty buff for a router) or even PCEngines Alix (which is x86 geode based and has a LOT more ram and uses CF for storage.)



I need a VPN endpoint for a small office (max 3 users), unfortunately I must put it behind another router that allows only tcp/udp port forwarding, so I cant use pptp or ipsec. I'm thinkin about using one of the above solution as an OpenVPN appliance.


Check into a PCEngines ALIX. You can run full OpenBSD or whatever on them.

Unfortunately, it appears that the Routerstation has been discontinued.
