OpenWRT 21.02 is on it's way!

Release Candidate 1 for OpenWRT 21.02 dropped last week. https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.0-rc1/ Notable Features that mattered to me: * Kernel Upgrade, 4.14.221 => 5.4.111 * Availability of more 10G NIC drivers (bnx2x) * UEFI boot images for x86 targets * Raspberry Pi 4 support I recently have been working on building out some beefier firewalls for two sites with Fiber services. I needed something that could do wireguard without being terribly CPU bound. I also wanted to support greater then 1Gbps networking. I went with some used Dell SFF 3020 machines. i5-4570, 4G RAM, and two low profile PCIe slots (x16 & x1). Paired with some surplus BCM57840 cards and Intel 1G cards, these are turning into robust firewall boxs. -- Scott Sullivan
