Hello there Paul, In my opinion you could give soekris + pfsense a try, the whole story shouldn't cost you more than 300$ and some time. Ref.: http://www.soekris.com http://www.pfsense.com Kind regards, Daniel Radetic On 01/14/2010 10:12 AM, Paul.Simons () thomsonreuters com wrote:
Hum... OK lots of suggestions - Thanks. So if I go down the do-it-yourself path I would like to find the most unobtrusive 'box' to build my own UTM system on. I don't have a problem building one (old guy talking here 30+ years experience) but it MUST BE - small, quiet, low power and reliable (Gbit interfaces would be nice-to-have). I don't think an 'old' PC with numerous NICs would fall into these categories. Which begs the next question; What hardware would be suitable for my needs? I don't mind spending to get the 'right' system so it could be anything (old or new. In answer to the various other questions posed... I am using a Sofaware appliance (embedded Check Point) - nice because it is al-in-one box - but as I said too expensive and their licensing policy sucks (always has - but they are not going to change so I am). I need a firewall at home because I run a WEB server, media server, OS-X, XP, BSD, etc and I have two teenage boys trying to get to all sorts of sites and download stuff I don't want them to ;-) so I would like to restrict access by time (when they have done their homework or at weekends or time to sleep) and sites (free surfing for some time - only educational sites at others) Anybody who has kids should be doing this sort of thing - suppliers are starting to wake up to this but not many yet Thanks Paul This email was sent to you by Thomson Reuters, the global news and information company.
