Would like list of candiates
new features I would like to have
built in wireless G with decnt security
more than 15 internal LAN IP's ( so many things today have IP's and are networked ) Sonicwall complains after 10 internal IP's try to use it as the gateway to the WAN
I would like to use a remote VPN software on my laptop to access my home LAN while I travel
bump
why no responses??
I love WatchGuard units, but their smaller units are also internal IP limited. If I had to pick one single source for Firewalls it would be watchguard.
If you want to go cheap, and don't want all the firewall features, get a DFL-700 (about $300) and it has no limits and many of the low end firewalls (real firewall) features - includes a real LAN and real DMZ network.
Thanks
it's for home use
If I turn on all the IP using device inside at the movement -- I have about
12-13 of them -- the old sonicwall complains that I've exceed by license for IP when I do thisI'm seriously considering the firebox X15w for my new box -- it's about $700 or so -- this price does not bother me...
I would like the wireless feature set
I also want to access my home network from the road -- So I want to use a VPN client software on my laptop to connect to the device back home and then access my network devices -
thoughts on the firebox VPN client software -- easy to setup and use
I have syslog service collect traffic info from the sonicwall and will probably continue this with it's replacement...
I've not bought the small units, only the 7xx series and above, and they come with a PPTP Server service, so you can PPTP into the firewall and set rules for access via an authenticated user account.
