Hi,
I need a gateway for our new office. I'd like it to run Fedora. What
are my options? I'd like to be able to do the following:

- provide VPN back to the main office
- provide basic masquerading of hosts on inside network
- be small enough to fit on a shelf. Preferably fanless
- web-based administration
- ssh access

Have a look at https://www.pcengines.ch/apu2.htm These offer 2 or 3 ethernet

ports, small form factor, and fanless. Fedora is not a good choice for this

role unless you are willing to devote time and effort to testing new versions

as they appear. In that case you would want a couple systems so each new

release could be tested before going into serivice. Pcengines has centos7

images for apu systems.

We're experienced admins, so a simple interface isn't specifically
necessary, but desired.

It's only for a few remote office workers, so it doesn't have to be
particularly powerful, but should be responsive enough to support
regular ssh and VPN activity.

Avoid USB NIC's. Have a look at pfSense
