Hi all, I’m doing research for a new firewall purchase for a
small non-profit – roughly 50 users. We need roughly 10 VPN connections.
We’re currently using iptables on a Fedora box, but the new management
would like something with corporate support options, so the Linux firewall will
become the internal network firewall, and we’ll be implementing this new
firewall as the bastion. I’m looking into Cisco PIX firewalls,
Checkpoint, Juniper networks, and Sonicwall, but with the marketing mumbo-jumbo
it’s hard to work out what the benefits of each are. Does anyone have any
real-world experience with any of these firewalls, and if so, would you be
willing to share your stories? I’d much appreciate some experienced
points of view. Regards, Nick Phillips JESNA IT Coordinator |
