VPN Firewall for new webserver
I'm setting up a webserver at a colocation and I need to put a VPN firewall in front of it. I'm on a fairly tight budget and I have about $100 - $500 to spend on the firewall. I need to allow the web traffic in of course, also FTP and SQL Server access, so port forwarding will be needed. Initially I'll only have one machine behind it but I may add another box later.
Does anyone have any suggestions on firewalls? I've looked at the BEFSX41 which looks like it would work for me but I'm not sure about liability. I've also seen good reviews on the Daytek Vigor 2900 but the review was several months old and it said to wait fro new updates. Finally I've seen really good reviews on the Sonicwall TZ 170, but I'm having a heck of a time trying to tell if I'm buying hardware or a software license.
Can someone point me in the right direction on this?
Thanks, Nate Baxley
