Is there something easier to use? more features? better security? My goal is to share a DSL connection with 3 computers and protect against port scanning on my development machine. The ISP is giving me one static IP address. I am familiar with Gauntlet and other commerical firewall products but don't have much money to invest for home. VPN is also a requirement. Any infomation you can share is appreciated -- web sites, product/distribution recommendations, etc. I prefer BSD over Linux for many reasons... it's more robust, there is less scope creep and a much longer tradition in the unix community. Thanks in advance, Michael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
