tswalker 10 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 I must have checked out the wrong untangle software... looks seriously expensive. I got pfsense 2.1 working smoothly on it... 2 additional NICs (4 ports)/subnets and segmented the wifi routers (configured as access points) with routes through the primary gateway... working good so far. if anyone was curious, I picked up two of these to use (reason why I needed pfsense 2.1) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833328022 they worked right out of the box.. fit perfectly in the chasis and I was surprised that they included low-profile brackets (saved me some dremel time)...

ikon 439 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Untangle does need more CPU than pfSense, but I would think an N54L is up to the task. It does come with 2GB of RAM There is a free version of Untangle that's completely free -- it's an open-source GPL-licensed project. Basically, you pay for the extras, if you want them. IIRC, you just download UT and install it; just don't sign up for any of the extras and it's free. Link to post Share on other sites
tswalker 10 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 I'll take a second look at it ikon.. thanks for the suggestions! so far though, pfsense is working great... though, after looking at the N54L performance/utilization so far... I feel like I put a Titan in the place of where a foot soldier would do Link to post Share on other sites
ikon 439 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 If you've got pfSense up & working well, and you're comfortable administering it, there's probably no reason to change, but you might want to have a look at UT just for the heck of it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
