Applied for Orange Pi +, didn't receive any response.

Avasz

So, I posted a project idea some 5 months back. My idea got positive votes. I messaged the moderator a few times about it, but didn't receive any reply at all.

Here is my thread: http://www.orangepi.org/orangepi ... &extra=page%3D1

As you can see, I have worked on it a little bit in a different system and have completed it like 90-95%. But it is in a mainframe desktop computers, what I want is to make it work in ARM devices as they consume less power and is perfect replacement for normal home routers.
If anyone knows of any responsive moderators who responds fast, I would do it. After release of orange pi plus 2 also I messaged the moderator, but no response.

Thanks.

I looked at your "project" and, well, you're just basically describing a basic router. Any OpenWRT-supported router can already do all those things you described.

Isn't the whole point beyond a project is to do something with Orange pi that can benefit in one or different way? That project will allow OPi not only to become a router but it can bev used for lots of other purposes simultaneously that a basic openwrt router wont be able to eg: irc server, bot server, torrent, media, ftp, print etc. all in one simultaneously. And without requirement of large servers which are bit of overkill for home users.

Also, most of the projects there already have a company/ professional solutions available. Its about implementing them in OrangePi.

Such helpful comment. Thank you very much.

You can do all those things with OpenWRT. OpenWRT is just a stripped-down Linux-distro and it even has a package-repo system similar to Ubuntu's apt and the likes. I'm running a Mumble-server and XMPP-server on Zyxel-branded router, for example. You can also use the OpenWRT build-system/SDK to build your own software for it, like, again, I have -- it's just the same process as any cross-compiling. I don't think you're quite familiar with OpenWRT when you make such baseless claims.

I'm just trying to understand what your project is trying to accomplish: there exists already a whole lot of documentation around on how to run a firewall/router on a Linux-box on nearly any available distro and there are plenty of complete distros for that purpose, like e.g. Openwall and Smoothwall -- you could just compile the distro for ARM, slap a H3-compatible kernel on it and call it a day. So, what goal are you trying to achieve that wouldn't already be served by some existing project?
