Endian Firewall on guruplug

[Guest]

I'm hoping that tomorrow my guruplug will arrive, I want to install endian firewall on it.
I figure it's going to be a difficult road, but not an impossible one.
Anyone else interested in doing this?

Well, it's arrived. Seems more than capable of running Endian. It may not be any good for a lot of users, but as a travelling firewall/vpn client this could be very useful - certainly for me.
A lot of cross compiling and testing to do I think! Wish me luck!

Keep us informed, it seems a nice appliance

After about 12 hours of usage it gets far too hot for my liking, and ended up in a reboot loop.
Need to do more testing as this could be a knock on effect from a bios update for the kvm running endian freaking my whole network out.
Waiting for my 16Gb micro SD card to arrive....

guruplugs have problems overheating..google it..reaching over 90c inside ...need to disassemble it n probably add heatsinks n fans...

Overheating problems are only apparent with using gigabit ethernet, and there is a fix coming for it soon (free except for shipping) and will be fitted to all devices as of August

But given the lack of progress with endian 2.4 stability, I have had to develop my own solution. atm it is based on debian but I will move it to fedora probably after 14 is released or when the arm support becomes better (it's not bad at the moment)

its not just gigabit...if you use any combination of things it can trigger the overheating, like using bluetooth and wifi at the same time...or wifi and wired...or other combos...either way....get the fix..and you should be fine..till then..youll get reboot cycles...also update the bootloader and kernel
