CODE - Router/Firewall Question

[jnuts]

I'm sick of the router I'm using and the crappy firewall reporting it has on it. I'm going to stand up a combination of a Linux firewall and router. Any opinions on what is a good one? I've looked at Freesco, Coyote, Smoothwall and various other LRP options.

Roll your own with IP tables, although my preference is OpenBSD & pf.

EMBSD

It's cheap, its solid state....

I won't mind digging into that later... I just don't have the time, right now, to fully mess with it. I need something that is tight out of the box and gives me a better warm fuzzy than what I'm using now.

If you want something simple for home use, grab Gnatbox Light at
http://www.gta.com/products/gblight/

It's free for two users and 5 if you register it. The reporting beats ANY other floppy based firewall out there hands down. It has a web interface, ncurses interface and you can send the logs to another box.

Code, Dial - thanks for the info.
