Welcome to OSH Router!
Open-source hardware networks give you control and awareness where it matters most
That's why we're developing and sharing them
Get started building our completed and work-in-progress projects at the OSH Router repository, or purchase assembled parts at our store.
Our Goals
Secure
Good firewalls and best practices
OSH Router devices are designed for bandwidth and filter performance competitive with closed-source alternatives. Transparency isn't an excuse for poor engineering.
Our published hardware will never require an online account or persistent Internet connection to use. No services or ports are open by default.
Open-source
The OSH is in our name
All schematics, PCB layouts, Gerbers, bills of materials, specifications, and non-NDA technical documentation are shared for any project completed under the OSH Router name. Instructions and recommendations for manufacturing your own are always provided (if we make it, you can too). Full info and licenses at our GitHub.
Compatible
Use trusted software
We test our hardware with open-source firewall frameworks that you can use too. We aim for compatibility with OPNsense and pfSense for x86-64 CPUs, or IPFire for Arm CPUs. OSH Router writes and publishes custom firmware if the cost or performance justifies it, or if there are irreparable flaws with existing open-source projects.
Long-lasting
Reliability and longevity
OSH Router devices are designed to operate for many years. Component availability and support are important factors in each design. High-risk components are flagged in our BOMs. We provide at least one alternative for each BOM line.
Affordable
It's just a router
High-performance network security with minimal investment. Hardware developed at OSH Router is purpose-built for what it does and priced accordingly. Features that cost extra aren't justified if most users will not need them.
Efficient
Low-power performance
Less waste heat means fanless designs. It also enables remote, off-grid installations. Our designs put every watt to use.
