On my Home network I am thinking of installing a Cable router/firewall.
I have looked at the D-Link 604 and also the Linksys BEFsx41. Was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with these. And would they recomend them or not. And lost but not least, do they work well with Linux. I know they are WebBased configured. which should be OK with Linux.
What iI need is: - Firewall protection - URL filtering, Controlled blocking for example Java, ActiveX etc - IPSec and PPTP - Logging - DHCP Server - NTP support - VPN
Thanks Stanley
SMC makes the Barricade router/firewalls that have some extra features you may appreciate: Serial port for an external modem so that if broadband is down you could switch to dialup with all the benefits of the built-in router and firewall. Parallel port that serves as a print server to your LAN. All the other features you list. Stan
