At the moment, I'm using an old Watchguard SOHO 6 and feel it's about time it was upgraded. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm a little rusty when it comes to hardware firewalls.

Thanks in advance....

Smoothwall is supposed to be really good although I havent used it. (I was going to but didnt really need a hardware firewall).

Whydo you need to upgrade the firewall, what are you looking for that watchguard doesnt have.

I'm looking for something that allows me to have more VPN tunnels, and with higher bandwidth.

I have the Nvidia hardware fire wall.

TBH I dont have much time for firewalls, I prefer to hide behind a router.

There are some great free software firewalls.

If you get this weeks MM issue 1000 you will see Jason has loads to say about firewalls.

The Lost Artifact is not lost. Why? Because I have it.

Hmm, not really sure about this one, what about the branch office version of the soho 6, nokia and mcaffe also have comparable firewalls. It might be worth checking out smoothwall but im not sure about its vpn capability though.
