Opensense on Fujitsu Futro

2021-03-25

I recently stumbled over a couple of article and forum posts by people who used old (cheap) thin clients to install Opensense firewalls. I liked that idea and bought a Fujitsu Futro S720.

But since I'm too cheap to buy a suitable Riser card and low profile NIC, I'll set this up as my future WLAN firewall. Since all my WLAN SSIDs already are associated with their own individual VLANs, I can simply add all of these as tagged to the switch port which is connected to my Futro and use the Futro to segment my WLANs.

If I'm happy with the performance, I'll go ahead and get that Riser card.
