Basic Information

Name: Turris Omnia
Category: Hardware #1713
URL: https://www.turris.cz/en/omnia/

Description

Turris Omnia is a secure, high performance, and open-source home router. It has specifications that would allow it to easily handle Gigabit-level networking, as well as additional functionality (NAS, printserver, or other server type use-cases).

Turris Omnia was created by NIC.CZ, the non-profit .CZ domain registry behind many massive internet open-source projects including Knot (DNS Server), BIRD (Internet routing daemon), and FRED (Domain registry platform).

Why I am making the suggestion

I am adding this in a new commit to #1713 and wanted to open a discussion.

My connection with the hardware

It is recommended by the Infosec Handbook team: https://infosec-handbook.eu/recommendations/#hn

I have used software products by NIC.CZ in the past (Knot and FRED) and have been happy with their work and contributions to the open source community.

  •  I will keep the issue up-to-date if something I have said changes or I remember a connection with the software.

This is awesome, it has a really beautiful design too. Just add it!!
Does it require more technical knowledge that with a regular router?
I don't think there's a lot of competition when it comes to routers, this probably is the best option out there, but... is there a specific criteria to follow?

Kind of off-topic, should I start creating issues for the hardware I mentioned?

It runs OpenWrt, so it’s not quite as simple, but we do already recommend that software in our router firmware section so it is aligned with our current recommendations.

I used to run this router at home. I recommend it, it really gives you the freedom to do whatever you want with the hardware.
