[QUOTE="woodrowbone, post: 876881, member: 1062"] Hi guys, I like to create some discussions, and most of all input from our users when it comes to our first line of defense, the router/firewall. We have some separate threads in this regard, like Gryphon, Avira SafeThings etc, but I want to create a space where we mixem all up ;) Let´s compare, twist and turn, pick each others brain when it comes to tweaks, hardware etc. There are many solutions out there when it comes to build your own router/firewall, often free solutions to install on your own hardware. With hardware now available in small form factors, it´s getting more and more interesting for entusiasts to build their own solution. My favorites so far is Untangle (very easy to install and manage), you can even use it to filter traffic behind your present router ,if you install it in bridge mode. Years ago I used Sophos UTM, harder to setup but I did like the dual AV engines it provided. Today they seem to only develop their XG version witch I am very interested in, if anyone uses it please share your toughs. I hope this thread will catch on, as the importance of securing not just your computer, but all other connected stuff gets more important by the day. /W [/QUOTE]
