Arduino Pro 4G GNSS Module as a backup Tiny router

Hello, I’m looking at the Arduino Pro 4G GNSS Module. I’m seeing with the right programming that it can hea little effective backup router. Now I know the bandwidth will be limited but as long as I can get online illl be fine. I even saw someone used an esp32 with this module to have a bridge internet connection from the Arduino Pro 4G GNSS and a esp32.

But what I was wondering in programming if it’s possible to set some rules like a regular router for protection of some kind? I know it will have to be program in arduino code but. I was wondering if the esp32 can handle something like that?

Simple consumer-grade routers are so cheap nowadays , why both?

DD-WRT is the most popular router software AFAIK. Check if it will run on FreeRTOS or Zephyr. Also check to see if there is any ESP32 arduino code to do that.
BTW, check means Google search and Github read.

Hey @sonofcy i did search Google and GitHub. What I found was a bridge between the lte module and esp32. But nothing on the how to protect yourself like a type of firewall router.

@gfvalvo Learning, and to see if there was a way I can protect that lye and esp32 with some type of protection.

Did you read post 3? If so, do you understand what I am saying?
I just did a google search. I will show you the part that you seem to care about the most.

it lacks the advanced firewall rules, QOS, and routing protocols found in full DD-WRT

You need to ask google the right question. It's a bit of an art but when you do this is the type of answer you can get.

Unfortunately since the one thing you asked for was firewall rules it looks like you are out of luck.
Since you have not told us all about your project it is not possible to make further suggestions.
Good luck.
