Supermicro A1SRi 2558F Intel Fanless Server
Amazon's catalog no longer lists this product (checked 2026-11-02). The name comes from the link HN users posted.
The Pi is far too slow to do more than a couple of MB/s of vpn traffic so hosting a VPN server on it feels like a rather pointless exercise.
A bit more expensive but at least 100x faster option would be https://www.amazon.com/Supermicro-A1SRi-2558F-Intel-Fanless-...
And I suppose something like https://www.amazon.com/Firewall-Micro-Appliance-Gigabit-Bare... or maybe https://www.amazon.com/Solana-Tech-pfSense-firewall-router/d... would be an OK cheaper alternative.
