There's always the likes of a Raspberry Pi. With a USB ethernet dongle, <br>
even the older models will easily handle typical non-gigabit internet <br>
speeds. (The RPi4 will handle full-rate gigabit on multiple <br>
interfaces in case you actually need that bandwidth..)<br>
<br>
And since it's bog-stock Linux (usually Debian), a RPi solution will <br>
have the advantage of being supported pretty much forever, unlike any <br>
commercial firewall appliance.<br>
