Hi,
I'm new to the network mess. And am trying to learn. So I am looking for a VPN Firewall that won't cost me a arm and leg. Can any recommend one?

And an after thought. Can you connect more then one after an other in line?
 
Urm wow.

First of all a firewall and a vpn are two different things.

A firewall blocks specific traffic in and out of a network.

A VPN is an encrypted tunnel between two places
 
While I'm at it. Can you connect more then one firewall together?

Ok it is not clever to daisy chain firewalls, waste of speed.

Second, most routers these days have some VPN capabilities.

Thirdly, most operating systems support VPNs.

I suggest you read more about what you are actually looking for

Thank you. I plan on going from the modem to my wireless router with one pc connected, then to a firewall switch. Which will have another pc connected and a nas box connected.
 
If you don't mind used and your ISP connection is 100mbit or less, a Juniper SSG5 will do what you want. Often available for under $100. Just make sure the firmware on the unit isn't one of the versions with the backdoor feature as Juniper is rather anal about supporting gray market devices. It has 7 configurable ports so you could have your wireless on port 1, your NAS and internal network on port 2, your ISP on port 3, etc.
