Re: Rapsberry Pi 4b wifi

Hello Flemming and List

If you are trying to use a Pi 4 as a LEAF firewall, I would like to know how well it performs. 

Some of you might have noticed that the APU2 will not be available next year or so ( https://www.pcengines.ch/eol.htm <https://www.pcengines.ch/eol.htm> ), …  it might be time to grab one now ! , but we will need some replacements soon. 

I would also like to collect any successful experiences with other hardware that List’s members might have tried, so please don’t be shy !

bye,

jrb.
