Pfsense doesn't do well performance wise virtalized. At least it didn't used to. I think they have a pay for version optimized for VM platforms.

It's just FreeBSD plus drivers, right? It should do as well as FreeBSD does on whatever platform is in question. That FreeBSD doesn't have PV support for Xen is a major drawback to FreeBSD as a platform in general. But it should only be a question of drivers, in general.

Yep. that was it. Did route delete on it and it worked. I'm working how that would get there on a clean install.

Well yeah, if people leave default creds. Argh.

Yes, ERLs run VyOS.

For the record, EdgeOS is not VyOS. It is its own fork of Vyatta.

For the record, I did learn that since the original post and knew that now 🙂

Just clarifying for Google's sake.

Untangle is a major resource hog from what I remember.

It is. It isn't routing or switching software, it's just Linux as a full OS with tons of apps running on it. So unlike, say, Vyatta which powers the Ubiquiti which is based on Linux but is extremely light and fast because it is a custom kernel with a custom network stack just for routing, Untangle is the full blow OS with nothing special. So you need tons of horsepower to handle normal routing tasks effectively.

@Mike-Ralston It's a router / firewall that you can install on pretty much any old computer with two NIC's.

The one thing you have to worry about for hardware requirements is the supported network cards. It will RUN on anything but you may not be able to use it if your network cards are not supported.

@Dashrender Asus routers are by far the easiest I have ever setup. Almost pull out of box and plug in easy.

I love the newer ASUS line, it has DD-WRT by default for firmware. It has added features compared to most manufacturer firmware. But it's not too hard to configure. Should be fairly easy for non-techies to understand. I probably won't go back to Linksys since Cisco no longer owns it.

I don't think Cisco owning Linksys added any value. Hurt it actually.

The Asua line with DD-WRT was a brilliant move on Asus' part. If you want DD-WRT which a lot of people do, why go anywhere else? I need to get one for testing soon. Probably the best way to go for home routers.
