    Wow that is a lot of reading, which means you did a lot of work researching, planning, testing and writing. Thank you for publishing this.

    A cursory look seems like the software you are using could benefit from a more powerful machine. I know power is a concern for some, but for me it is irritating waiting around for things to load. A Dell Optiplex 7070 SFF i7-9700 @ 3.00GHz 16GB RAM 256GB SSD is only $56 on ebay and would be significantly faster than an orange pi. Thoughts?

        It’s a live listing still taking bids with 3 days to go.

        You can get one for £200 delivered in the UK with identical specs so it’s a good deal cheaper than you think. That said it’s not as cheap as a US machine but they have a market of 5-6 times as many desktop machines.

        You don’t have access to ebay?

        I have bought three old Optiplexes, similarly equipped, each under $100.

        They are great as dedicated servers.

      Yes indeed. This project was part of my Bachelor thesis. I decided to publish part of it as open-source to simplify the life of other security and privacy enthusiasts.

      If used correctly, this project brings corporate-grade security into your home without the need of extensive technical knowledge.
