    Help finding the right firewall distro

    I have considerd that, except that I have heard that PPTP tends to be slower than OpenVPN, but secondly with pptp if the VPN connection drops at any point then I will still be connected to the internet without the VPN, but with openVPN if the connection drops then I cant access the internet...

    Help finding the right firewall distro

    Im not sure what information to export, or in what format it requires it, the only file I can get from the site is "ca.vpnreactor.crt", but I dont think that what untangle is looking for. Also I do run a dedicated box, I just use virtualbox to test out the different distros before I do a full...

    Help finding the right firewall distro

    It is OpenVPN (I really should have mentioned that in the op, ill edit it.) I have actually tried untangle in VirtualBox but the OpenVPN client software in untangle wants me to import some configuration file that I dont have, and there is no other way to set it up, atleast not that I can see...

    Help finding the right firewall distro

    True, if "they" really want my information they can get it. The way I'm looking at it, the more roadblocks they have to go through to get my information the less likely they are to bother with me. Even I know how to find some basic info just using someones IP address, but it is much harder to...

    Help finding the right firewall distro

    I just like having the added layer of protection, I dont like the idea that my ISP can easily monitor what I'm doing online. Im not really doing anything bad mind you, I just like staying as private as possible online. As far as my speed goes I have been using this service for a few weeks now...

    Help finding the right firewall distro

    Thanks for all the amazingly quick replys, and the tip about the traffic shaper. If I could just get my VPN connection setup I will probably stick with pfsense. Anybody have any ideas? Ive tried every tutorial I could find, and no luck so far.

    Help finding the right firewall distro

    I probably should have mentioned the pc is a 600MHz Celeron, with 512MB SDRAM and for just that reason I wouldnt mind sticking with pfsense because its light weight, but I just cant figure out the simplist things. If someone could possibly aid me in setting up my VPN connection I might just...

    Help finding the right firewall distro

    I have been looking for a simple and easy to use firewall distro that also has the features I am looking for. I am currently using pfsense which is anything but simple, but "seems" so be capable of doing what I want, but I need something that is as simple as your standard store bought router, or...
