VPN Routers
----------
I'm trying to get the
most efficient
price/performance
solution for my client.
They have 2 offices
which I'm planning to
connect via VPN. Also, I
would like to offer them
the ability to work
remotely (so it
should support Gateway to
gateway and Host to
gateway via VPN client).
Neither office has any
kind of firewall or
security right now, which
is sad, but I hope that
the appliance I'll buy,
will fix that. My
shopping comparison
yielded the following
contenders:
1.
Linksys BEFVP41 -
$150
2. D-Link DFL-300
SOHO VPN Firewall
Unlimited Users -
$385
3. Symantec
Firewall/VPN 100
Appliance - $360
4.
WatchGuard Firebox SOHOtc
- $470
5. MultiTech
RouteFinder VPN SOHO
Internet Security
Appliance - $140 + Client
software
Any
suggestions, first hand
experiences or relevant
information ?
#1
sounds like a bargain,
but what is
missing?
Anybody heard
of #5 on the
list?
What VPN Client
software I should be
looking for? I'd prefer a
stand alone application,
so I could configure
it
independently of
Windows network
configuration.
Thanks a lot. | bhoth

You should add one more
router to your
list.
The Netgear
FVS 318, here is the
link:

Netgear VPN routers
----------
Thanks. I've forgotten
about Netgear, although I
have RT314 at
home.
The thing which
caught my attention,
while reading the
description on their web
site is the star at the
end of this sentence:
Make a VPN connection to
other FVS318's or through
client
software*.
What
client software is out
there for it? Is this
reliable solution?
Anybody with first hand
experience? The other
solution by Netgear is
FV318NA, but it is $670
or so. I could not catch
the difference. Any
ideas?

netgear VPN router client
----------
NETGEAR supports the
Safenet client
(www.safenet-inc.com). I
think they are also
posting other client
application notes on
their tech support site. | yfisher

netgear VPN router client
----------
Yep, I've found it too.
Kind of expensive.
Thanks, though. The other
clients are not
officially
supported.
For that
matter, Linksys is as
good.

More ports VPN support
and VPN client support at
a cheaper price? I think
Netgear's offering looks
compelling. Plus you get
AV software. Sounds like
a good set up for a small
business. Linky has the
encryption chip so if you
want to do a bunch of
VPNs at once, that may be
the way to go. |
