Re: [pfSense-discussion] HOW MUCH TRUST ON PFSENSE ?

2007-12-22 Thread Paolo Gentili
Hi,
Thanks a lot to everybody for coming in this discussion and for sharing
their experiences that convinced me
to traslate into a production environment with no problems!

Anyway i still have some little doubts on implementing a DMZ containing all
the servers, behind NAT.
This because i don't know how pfsense's NAT implementation can handle the
new internet applications/protocols
like AJAX or WEB-SERVICES
or others that could make use of mechanisms like dynamic allocation of port.

Don't you think pfsense (actually NAT) can suffer this?

Again thanks to everybody!
Bye

[pfSense-discussion] HOW MUCH TRUST ON PFSENSE ?

2007-12-19 Thread Paolo Gentili
Hi all,
i'm planning to use pfsense as a multiwan and firewall solution for an
enterprise network
of about 40 desktop pc and 15 internet servers (with various
HTTP/POP3/SMTP/DNS/DHCP services)

I'm currently installed it on a desktop for learning purposes and i'm
testing it with no more than 3 or 4 pc
with no problems but i'm not sure about its stability when passing to a real
case of use with all my network operators.

Before do the critical step of making it my main enterprise internet
gateway i'd like to hear from you,
your thoughts or experiences about  how much trust can i have on pfsense and
about
passing from testing phase to the production regardless to the power of
hardware used for running pfsense (which of course have as strong impact on
throuhput).

Bye
