Need advice

Most Linksys stuff is linux-based with many alternative firmwares available, including some with excellent VPN support.

In any case, Symantec = teh bad!!1

What about Netopia stuff...ie Netopia 3347?

What does this mean?

Available in 10 node configuration; not upgradeable Concurrent connections: 2,000

Some of the LINKSYS gateay comes with VPN Enabled Use that that is the most secure usning IPSEc and IKE.

No, he's not "good to go the way he is", as he's not provided any details.

He's not specified what "Linksys" router that he's using, and unless it's a VPN Router it won't do site to site VPN. Most of the Linksys units are not firewalls, they are simple NAT routers only.

He's specifically asked for a device that will allow VPN connections - assuming that he wants something that users can VPN into the device, not VPN through the device, then he's going to need a quality device, not a rinky NAT router.

Almost every device on the ICSA Labs list qualifies for what he wants, under the "certified firewalls" group.

Now, do you have ANYTHING constructive to add?

your garden.....

He is good to go the way he is . What the hell are you talking about here ????
