: [Asterisk-Users] will a firewall slow down asterisk?
I recommend m0n0wall (http://m0n0.ch/wall/) which is a NetBSD based
firewall that includes traffic shaping. Easily managed via a web
interface. Runs on any decent PC with 2 or more NICs. Also on Soekris
or WRAP embedded platforms.

Any network device (ie: switch, router, firewall) will add a small amount of
latency. To test the latency your firewall adds, you could simply try to do
a ping www.google.com, directly in front and behind the firewall, and look
at the ms response times.

Technically, yes it will. The question should really be is the latency
tolerable?
I run (as do many folks here) mine from behind a Linksys firewall at
home and I find the latency increase to be acceptable. I use Broadvoice
as a provider and have 3 other extensions connected to it from remote
That should not be a problem. My users conference
using a voip line from an ITSP so at any time there may be 4-8 calls passing
over the firewall and terminating in the MeetMe conference. It works
great. I would recommend Pix BTW. Linksys would be my next
rec. But hey, they are both Cisco
