![]() Untangle is ideal for a home user, especially since it provides THREE antivirus scanning technologies that run at 1Gb speeds, a very advanced web filter, and a tweaked up Snort IPS with 33,000 signatures. For a home user, Fortinet's malware scanning (getting certs on home devices to enabled SSL checking might be tricky) and a few good web filtering policies will ensure they aren't exposed to all the crap that everyone running Netgears and Linksys are. I see it in our hardware on a daily basis when reviewing what we block. I don't think anyone can stand up to Fortinet's threat detection and prevention. ![]() The extra time and hassle to get an OpenSource firewall up and running simply isn't worth it. I'd rather have more dependable security scanning for my clients (especially if they are click on anything kids) than a super fast wide open pipe. The main benefit of a connection like that will hopefully be low latency and burst-able connection speeds. Someone with 1Gbps residential will most likely not be getting that most of the time anyway (we just did at work and we get ~850Mbps through a 500D with all the filters cranked up), nor will many of the sites they are connecting to be able to provide that in response. ![]() If cost is a concern, then suggestions should be reevaluated. ![]() I'm assuming this is for an Exec where the cost of a 60D and WAPs will not be an issue. I think suggesting Untangle for a home user (unless they are an IT person) will lead to frustration for the OP who sounds like he will need to support it. Not sure why ltguy's post isn't being displayed. ![]()
