Is there a small hacker friendly firewall for home use?

That's what I thought as well but for a firewall the Raspi might have
too little network bandwidth. The internal ethernet port is 10/100 only
and the USB port which you would have to use to attach a WiFi antenna
also has limited throughput. I guess it would work but if you route all
network traffic through this device and share larger file among the
computers be prepared to have the Raspi as a bottleneck.

Best,
Max
