Zywall 5 of Firebox X5
My Sonicwall SOHO TZW seems to be losing it's mind (persistent firmware corruptions) and I have been generally unhappy with it's performance. I am considering replacing it with a ZyXEL Zywall 5 or Watchguard Firebox X5 (wireless capability is not a concern). I am looking for any recommendations for either choice. I primarily want to make sure that I can VPN remotely with my laptop from various client sites to my network and have fairly granular control over inbound and outbound traffic via the firewall rules. It looks like the Firebox provides VPN client software...I cannot confirm for the Zywall. I am also not really interested in any annual subscription service which they both seem to offer, with the Zywall being less dependent on maintianing the service. My lean is toward the Zywall...
