An Unexpected AMIGA Network Interface -- Surprise, it uses a Raspberry Pi...
The retro-computer enthusiast has increasingly to grapple with not only runaway computer prices, but the astronomical cost of vintage peripherals. A welcome solution in some cases comes from the Raspberry Pi, which has proved itself fast enough to emulate those add-ons for a lot less outlay. A good one comes from [Niklas Ekström], who’s made a Pi-based network adapter for the Commodore Amiga 1200. Better still it doesn’t hog the main expansion port or the PCMCIA slot, instead it sits on the 1200’s rarely-used real-time-clock port. Software wise it uses an updated version of his earlier project for the Amiga 500. It provides access to the Pi command prompt, as well as a SANA driver and a mounted file system.

Vintage (ALL Original) or Upgrade?
On the A500 there was the A314 which had shared memory with the chipram and hence could do funky stuff. The PiStorm on the A500 couldn't do that as it didn't connect to chipram[1]. Some of the functionality was ported to the PiStorm stuff but I don't know enough about the A1200 expansion port to know if it can connect to chipram or not.
What are some alternatives?
amissl - :closed_lock_with_key: AmiSSL is the AmigaOS/MorphOS/AROS port of OpenSSL. It wraps the full functionality of OpenSSL into a full-fledged Amiga shared library that makes it possible for Amiga applications to use the full OpenSSL API through a standard Amiga shared library interface (e.g. web browsers wanting to support HTTPS, etc.)...
