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
Thanks guys bought the D-Link 604 yesterday for 49€, set it up in 10mins. Works great!!
Of course you never did explain why, when you are running Linux, you thought you needed one of these over priced pieces of obsolete technology. You have a much more capable and secure firewall router, traffic shaper, URL filter, IpSEc, Logging, Dhcp Server, with ntp support, VPN, SAMBA etc, etc,etc SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!!.
That I know but as I have 4 pc's to handle not one, this solution is fine for me Also remember writing in capital letters is considered rude. You made your point, without the capitals after the etc, etc, etc Thanks again guys, also to them that wrote directly to my email address. - Stanley -- __ / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / / /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: stanley.keymer@pp.inet.fi
