Reinier,

 

Yes I had forgotten the windows update caching (now that is a life saver),
and advanced SQUID proxy which can also be configured to use a secondary
upstream proxy if available. You can also add NTOP monitoring and logging,

(i Repeat)

 

WIndows Updates Caching!!!

 

This feature alone will save you hundreds of megabites of downloads, if not
thousands.

 

Eat that, pfsense!

Last time I used Zentyal there were no historical RRD graphs for network
utilization which made it impossible to evaluate ISP and network
performance. Is this still the case?

It can also do Captive Portal with RADIUS authentication (and others) out of

pfSense is a very powerful gateway and firewall system with numerous plug-in
modules (e.g ntop, Squid, Snort, NRPEv2) that are easily available from the
web interface. It's very stable, secure, and handles VPNs, multi-WAN,
clustering, and traffic shaping with relative ease. 

I haven't spent a lot of time with IPCop so can't really make a comparison
between the two.

That would actually be kinda fun. But it would bog down a lot of inboxen out
there, so it might be better suited for IRC.

i was just hoping kyle would reply in a similar manner and we would have a
proper distro-war about this with lots of mudslingiing and calling names
(like ipcop!!) 

 

( i think i have made the point for ipcop several times, including earlier
today already)

 

ipcop ipcop ipcop ipcop ipcop ipcop ipcop ipcop !!!!

Just a suggestion: How about presenting a motivation for the package in
question and why it's better than what other people recommend, instead of
dropping just a name? Otherwise this thread will be very long, boring, and
unproductive.

I'd recommend pfsense, how ever the thing to check is that you don't have
two default gateways set. If you set the default gw on the LAN interface
when you plug in the cable it overrides the default gw from the WAN.

check our route -nv to check your routing table.
