Great video. Thanks for the tutorial. How much was the kit? Probably over $300 with the wireless kit. GSM and VPN would probably put it way over $300.

Thinking of getting one, but I'm not sure if I would need the GSM and VPN cards for it since it's only going to used for a home network and I'm not sure what those cards would do. Can you put DD WRT or Tomato on your setup?

Not sure if netgate ships to Canada though. Hopefully!

Which soekris vpn card is that? I've been thinking about getting one for my setup, but I've read some mixed reviews. What has your experience been?
