@jerry genuinely considered purchasing a used gateway appliance just to get a picture of it plugged into itself, but people still want significant sums of money for them.

@huronbikes @jerry Would a Fortigate 100D suffice? Mine (got as a free toy with a year's support) has been idle for a few years now.
Other than shipping, it's free.

@huronbikes @jerry Sadly, don't think so (especially international).

Hopefully you can find a local doorstop though.

@huronbikes @jerry Less than I expected, to be honest!
I'm way out on the Canadian left coast, not sure how much that matters.
If you're serious, I'll look around for a suitable box, how to factory reset etc.
