+1 to this. 

I have pfSense running on my Alix board as my home funtimes. 
Just run a separate AP (probably should separate AP from pfSense anyway) and 
get you some n :)

Distro/Product 

pfSense running on an Alix board. If you put a wifi card in one you can run it 
as your AP as well but watch out that because it is based on BSD at the moment 
it is limited to 802.11abg and not n.

Not Debian/Ubuntu, but you should add pfSense to your list.

Folks, 


I would like to setup an Internet security box for my home network for 
firewalling, dhcp, IDS, web filtering, and possibly VPN. It has been a long 
time since I've looked at the various Linux security distros that do this (I 
think Astaro Security was the best choice back then). 


I did a few searches and it seems like there are a LOT of distros/products 
available now. 


Here are just a few I came across: 


1. Untangle - http://www.untangle.com/ 
2. Vyatta - http://www.vyatta.org/ 
3. Zentyal - http://www.zentyal.org/ 
4. Sophos UTM (formley Astaro) - 
http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-utm-home-edition.aspx 
5. Engarde Linux - http://www.engardelinux.org/ 
6. Smoothwall - http://www.smoothwall.org/ 
7. ClearOS - http://www.clearfoundation.com/Software/overview.html 


I do not care if it is gui or cli based. I would prefer something based on 
Debian/Ubuntu, but not absolutely necessary. 


Does anyone have any experience with the above distros/products or could you 
recommend something else you like? 


Thanks, 
Jason
