RE: Software Recommendations

Good morning,

What are your reasons for not using SmoothWall again?
I run Untangle at home on some modest hardware and like it.

For a client VPN solution I am a fan of Hamachi.

Have a great weekend.

-->
-->1. Inbound and outbound firewalling
-->2. site to site vpn connections - I have 2 other people whom work in

-->3. road warrior vpn - not a huge requirement as I do have a windows
-->2003 domain controller that can fill this role.
-->4. content / spyware / virus filtering - a like but not a must
-->5. Built in intrusion detection would be nice but again not a must.
