Software Configuration of the home/small business router solution with OpenBSD.

A while back, I was presented with two interesting problems: 1. A client wants to move their static web assets from a LAMP solution into Azure Blob Storage. 2. A second client has the requirement of moving around 2PB of data from magnetic storage into Azure Blob Storage. This produces an interesting set of problems with no clear solution.

I purchased/built a home/small business router solution for a lower price and higher performance than a comparable commercial device. Total price was about $235 and I have a device that handles 750mbit of L2TP/IPSEC throughput.
