      I have found a number of boxes on AliExpress like this one:

      https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Eglobal-6-Intel-Lans-Fanless-X86-Mini-PC-Core-i3-7100U-Celeron-3865U-Multi-Function-Firewall/32824644734.html

      I know that the more expensive Core i3-7100u will be able to handle gigabit routing.  But I am curious if the cheaper Celeron 3865u would also be able to route at gigabit speeds.  For reference, the specifications for the Celeron are:

      Thanks for any feedback you can provide.

        EGlobal is just reselling MiniSys with a higher price AFAIK. Also, yes, that Celeron CPU is capable enough for gigabit routing.

          Thanks for the input.  I have one follow up question:

          How much "other stuff" (e.g., squid, Suricata/Snort, PFBlocker, OpenVPN, etc.) can I have running and still be able to route traffic at gigabit speeds with that celeron pocessor?

          Thanks

            I don't think the celeron 3865u can do so many stuffs and not lower your speed. An i3-7100u box from Minisys or i5-5250u from Qotom will be better. Of cause, if you consider desktop cpu i3-7100 or 4 core i3-8100 will be much better.

              Indeed, not much room for 'other stuff', you'll need more CPU power for that.
