Ask HN: Can I see your rig? • Hacker News Board

A few weeks back I read a comment on HN about the RIPE Atlas project. It sounded fun (and I wanted a free probe!) so I sent off an application. Completely forgot about it after that until on Monday, out of the blue, a package from the Netherlands turned up with a tiny probe in it :)

It's now happily running on my desk: http://imgur.com/XA9UwTy

For me this is a minimalism dream. I would have a couple of towers of books though. :)

Yep, it seems to be a re-badged TP-LINK TL-MR3020

Yeah I thought it looked like one of the TP-LINK boxes, but was not sure. Thanks for the model. Have you tried running pfSense on it ?
