Re: [swinog] VDSL/Zyxel P2802 HWL not 'strong' enough for a small company LAN?

(simple) configuration. + 3-4 hours to read all the pieces of documentation, choosing the right board that you want to use, all the software options that are available, adding the wireless cards of proper vendor, chatting on this list etc. + 1 hour, as you say, to assemble it all together and boot for the first time + 1-2 hours to get through all the configuration options and getting to know the product + 1 hour to build a proper backup solution At the end of the day, you get your firewall which will most probably need few hours more for fine-tuning etc. For my own office, I would consider this as an option. If I'd intend to install it to a customer, it needs at least few dozens of installations before it pays back all the invested time. For a small number of installations, a small Cisco PIX firewall might be much easier to get. just my two cents, I'm vendor-agnostic, and open source supporter :-)

according to what this guy writes, http://rockpenguin.wordpress.com/2008/02/23/installing-pfsense-on-the-alix2… such thing as a firewall based on Alix platform requires at least few days of work for a guy on a salary with nothing else to do :) If you start counting the cost of worktime to have it up and running, probably any off-the-shelf firewall would be much more affordable. Or even a Cisco 8XX router, whatever current SoHo series they have :) ----- Original Message ---- From: Rainer Duffner <rainer(a)ultra-secure.de> To: swinog(a)swinog.ch Sent: Wednesday, March 5, 2008 3:39:54 PM Subject: Re: [swinog] VDSL/Zyxel P2802 HWL not 'strong' enough for a small company LAN?

I've got a previous-generation WRAP board with pfSense (just upgraded to the recently released 1.2). It should be noted that pfSense also does IPSEC and OpenVPN "SSL-VPN" and a host of other things. I'm not sure how much bandwidth the Alix-boards can shuffle, but my WRAP is supposed to max out somewhere in the 30MBit range. You can also install it on an old PC and temporary replace the Zyxel, to get some idea about the current traffic pattern.

AW: [swinog] affordable queueing solution for a small network?
by Reto Burkhalter 01 Mar '08

01 Mar '08

Hi Lothar You may also want to have a look at pfSense [1] running on a ALIX platform [2]. Should be fast and flexible enough for your needs. [1] http://www.pfsense.org/ [2] http://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm I think scaling is not your problem - 2 Mbps is not very scary.
