Hi David! I am also a university administrator using pfsense for a small seciton for users under 200 on a single LAN NIC. Besides issues like bandwidth per NIC you have to look one focal point "It is open source" so for me to use it as a firewall need some thinking.

Group....... I realize that I'm posting to a pfSense list, but figure it is still worth posing the question. We are a school district with approximately 2000 internal devices. We are looking at replacing our aging Cisco pix firewalls and are trying to decide between going with a Juniper SRX240 or moving to pfSense. Our expectation is to use for simple firewall and NAT with an openVPN setup for a small number of remote connections. We've been using pfSense in a very simple configuration at one of our smaller school districts for a year with no issues whatsoever. I'm wondering if it is time to make the leap to pfSense for our larger operation and if there are any major cautions people might have that would suggest it is a safer bet to go with a standard name like Juniper. I apologize if this is too broad a question, but figured I'd see if anyone has any feedback to provide. Thank you very much, David _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
