[CS-FSLUG] Raspberry Pi or Pine64 with Speedify

[Tim Young]

I have never done this.  The PIs do OK with network traffic. They are 
terrible with most disk IO.

I have run a filtering DNS server on a PI 3 that served 5000 people, and 
it worked fine.  So I suspect that it would work well enough as a router 
for a small connection.  Something like: 
https://zeroshell.org/load-balancing-failover/

I have not used this, but it does seem that people have done it...  
Definitely not as simple as speedify.
