Open-source firmware that turns an ESP32 into a WiFi NAT router and firewall, routing between an AP interface and a STA or Ethernet uplink. It supports WireGuard VPN uplink, DHCP reservations, port forwarding, ACL firewall rules, packet capture, and AI agent control via an MCP server.
Use cases
- turn an esp32 into a wifi range extender
- set up a guest wifi network with restricted access
- use a wireguard vpn router on cheap hardware
- convert wpa2-enterprise wifi to wpa-psk for simple devices
- isolate iot devices on a separate network
- monitor and debug wifi traffic with wireshark
- control my network with an ai agent via mcp
- integrate presence detection into home assistant
When to choose
- you need a cheap, hackable router or repeater on ESP32 hardware
- you want WireGuard VPN or firewall ACLs on a tiny embedded device
- you need packet capture or Home Assistant integration on a small network appliance
When to avoid
- you need high throughput beyond ~15 Mbps
- you want a production-grade router for a large home network
- you need a maintained, licensed product for commercial use
