So my watchguard firebox PFsense router died yesterday from multiple power surges.
Puffs of black smoke and all..
This was only meant to be a temporary router, until I decided what I wanted next. I 've been trying to decide if I want a Zyxel Zywall 110 or a Ubiquiti Edgerouter. I wasn't ever able to find out if the Zywall would be able to run my desired QOS and traffic rate limiting requirements.
And so the winner is: an Ubiquiti Edgerouter POE. Amazon Prime says it'll be here by Wednesday.
In the meantime I 'm running on an old Hotbrick LB2-VPN
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/hotbrick_lb_2_load_balancing_router,1.html
WAN-LAN 35Mbps MAX
100,000 concurrent connections.
It's old, slow and very outdated but It is quite secure. I'd forgotten how snappy the interface is.
The VPN capability ridiculously slow by today's expectations and so will not be used.
So I will continue running down nostalgia lane for the next couple of days and let you know my personal experiences after I get everything setup.
