If you could have the products https://firewalla.com/ They are excellent. I am replacing the Ubiquiti USG with these.

Hello to the round My cisco rv082 sometimes bucks and sometimes shows the red error LED. I don't think it's going to last that long. What is a good replacement? Approximately in the same price segment. Please NOT Zyxel.... they are so complicated. Cisco was a pure joy to use. Thank you for your input and any reports on your experiences. Markus

I have a FortiGate 60D in the company network that is getting on in years and I would like to replace it. The only open source of FortiGates is in Germany and even they cannot currently supply the current successor FortiGate 60F. I would prefer a solution that is freely available. We have 2 UniFi APs, and about 50 clients (wireless and wired), the FortiGate is currently connected with a modem to the ISP with 2Gbit. Besides a decent firewall for business, the most I need is VPN and the ability to create VLANs. Ubiquiti USG and Dreammachine can be smoked according to many user reports. My question is, what is cost-effective (approx. 600.--) and recommendable for our situation? Maybe there are routers that have a comparable firewall functionality as a hardware firewall? (The Edgerouter would fit the APs, but it is questionable whether the firewall can protect a company network properly, since it is rather consumerware).

Hi digitec team, perhaps you would like to take a look at the Netgate products and include them in the range? However, I can't say whether I would buy one - I will probably virtualise pfSense.

Maybe there are some good recommendations from the community: I will be changing ISPs soon and would like to use my own firewall in the future so that I can control VPNs through it and make certain rules for access from outside. Question: Which firewall is suitable for a glass gigabit connection? Gigabit is no use if the firewall only has 100 Mbit/s throughput. I will not use services such as AV, IDP, etc. Thanks for your suggestions. PS: Maybe it will only be a 500/500 connection...

Good day I am looking for a firewall that gets 1Gbit from Wan to Lan. Kind regards

Hello network experts, I have a 20Mbit internet line, my computer with Windows firewall/virus protection is connected via Wifi to a small cheap router. So far, data security has not been an issue, and I have never had a virus or the like for years. However, as I work on more and more company documents at home and access the company network from outside, I am concerned that something could leak out... What would be most sensible in my case? Thanks for the help!

Good day the EXPERTS I would like to know what is the difference between a firewall and a router? Is a firewall also a router? A router is often also a firewall. Most firewalls also offer NAT which is for routing and firewalls also offer OSPF etc. other routing protocols. So it is also a router? The firewall distribution PfSense can have all kinds of settings (NAT, OSPF...) although it is a firewall and not a router, as Wikipedia says. Does it make sense to buy a router and a firewall at all? Thanks for clarifying the questions. Greetings Nicolas

For routers as well as firewalls, it would be useful if the VLAN function could also filter.
