    Looking at this device…
    I’m assuming it is a basic rpi with your custom OS. And a few security upfits.

    Would I be correct in the following assumptions—

    1. It will use default gateway routing for remote routing say over a VPN.
    2. Ip chain functionality via Linux will be accessible for config.
    3. Other special low cpu/low memory software can be added.. IE FTP/TFTP..

    Thanks.

      Hi @radartech - thanks for your networking questions!

      The TinyPilot Voyager 2 is based around the Raspberry Pi 4B and runs Raspberry Pi OS Lite (currently Buster with a move to Bullseye under development). You can enable SSH access to the base system as required.

      It will use default gateway routing for remote routing say over a VPN.

      TinyPilot only works on the local network by default. The most popular option for remote access is to use a third-party tool but it is possible to install and configure many supported VPN clients directly on your TinyPilot device if you prefer a self-hosted approach.

      Ip chain functionality via Linux will be accessible for config.

      I don't believe ipchains is supported anymore but you can install iptables (or one of the alternative interfaces) to configure the kernel's built-in packet filter.

      Other special low cpu/low memory software can be added.. IE FTP/TFTP..

      The TinyPilot Voyager 2 was designed to be used only as an IP KVM but it is possible to install other compatible software on it if you wish to do so.

      I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions.
