Re: [VPN] Which DSL router?

Tried both, both are sitting in a pile on my desk.

 

I'm a Netscreen fan, after countless hours wasted on cheaper products I went with the Netscreen 5's

If you save $400 on hardware costs you're going to loose it in setup,

 

I spent countless hours configuring, testing, finding bugs, and calling tech support, it's just not worth it.

 

Check E-bay for a 5XP (Or order new) and add a 10 pack of Netscreen remote. Take my advice for what it is, if you need a solution that is easy, compatible, works and is secure spend the $$ on Netscreen.

 

Just a though,

 

Chad

Subject: [VPN] Which DSL router?

Our office wants to implement VPN in the near future. We have 2 offices with a server and DSL router in each, and several satellite offices with one computer with a dial-up connection. I've researched DSL routers with VPN firewall, and have a list of models that I think, from what I've read, will meet our needs. All offer stateful packet inspection and 3DES, multiple simultaneous VPN tunnels, and are fairly inexpensive. What I don't know is how easy the installation is, what changes may be needed in our current network setups, if any other software is needed (all computers are on Win2000), and are there other things we should be thinking about? Here are the models:

NetGear FVS318

Linksys BEFVP41

D-Link DI-804V

Barricade Plus SMC7004FW

ZyXEL Prestige 652

 

Can any of you give us information that will help us decide which would work best for us? Have any of you used one of these successfully in a similar situation?

Thanks for your help.

Jill
