Soekris net6501-70 as a router+firewall

Is anyone here using the Soekris net6501-70 as a router+firewall? If so what kind of performance are you seeing (throughput, PPS, etc)? I'm considering this system for a 30-40 user environment. It will handle web, ssh, voip, and other basic traffic. QoS will be needed. Thanks. -Gene

Re: Soekris net6501-70 as a router+firewall

Gene, I've used the PcEngines Alix2d3 board with Freebsd for a similiarly sized office and had good success with it. We had a 30mbit pipe, 30 users, VoIP/QoS and IPSec to our 3 data centers. Doing IPSec around 15mbit will put some load on the CPU but it was able to handle it pretty well. I

Re: Soekris net6501-70 as a router+firewall

Hi I actually use this system for our office of roughly 10 people. DHCP, Squid, SquidGuard, Snort, IPSEC and PF. Works like a champ. Only a single 100Mbit pipe coming in, but we are able to hit 97Mbit on downloads. I haven't tested the throughput yet on the VPN side. Marc On 02/15/2013

Re: Soekris net6501-70 as a router+firewall

Even a 5501 or Alix would probably be enough for that quantity of user. If your in north america, you should look lanner fw-7535 that cost less than a net6501-70. It's a great router and lanner have a really good customer support, one of the best I have seen. Michel

Re: Security and ignorance from the major ISPs

I have to agree on all these points. PF is the absolute best firewall I've used on any platform. Not only is it the simplest to configure but it has superior logging facilities. I'd much rather not have any ISP tell me what traffic I can or cannot receive. If you do that, say goodbye to open

Re: Soekris net6501-70 as a router+firewall

Depending on pps an alix might be pushing it. In any event it wouldn't give a lot of headroom. Soekris 6501, axiomtek na320 etc would be better, though depending on the environment a dell r210 or some supermicro box with core/xeon e3 might also be good choices. On 2013-02-15, reza

Shell for PF

I was wondering why nobody has ever created a shell for pf so that you could manipulate it in a way similar to JunOS instead of editing pf.conf. Also show / monitor commands. Hierarchical edit mode, stuff like that.

Re: Shell for PF

Thanks for the reply Theo, big fan of OpenBSD Someone referred me to NSH which is exactly what I was thinking of. It even incorporates ifconfig so you can do all the layer 2 stuff which is more than I was hoping for. Can't wait to play with it. I know exactly what you mean about the hardware

Re: Shell for PF

Someone referred me to NSH which is exactly what I was thinking of. No, NSH is now what you are thinking of at all. You are asking for something which nests the *entire heirarchy* of command structure to control interfaces and stuff PLUS pf... but NSH cannot do that in the 'natural way' you ask

Re: Shell for PF

I would like to offer a suggestion though from my experience, simplifying the configuration of a device greatly increases its security, operationally. So if users (network IT staff) are presented with something vaguely familiar to what they would encounter in the other equipment like cisco or

Re: Shell for PF

I was drawing from situations where we implemented hardware from a less well known vendor that has a completely different configuration style than what most people are used to. We end up having more outages caused by human error to the point where the equipment gets a bad reputation.

Re: Shell for PF

Hi, I own an ISP and I see no problem using OpenBSD, or Cisco as routers and I have no problem with the configuration of PF. I kind of find it much simpler then Cisco. Definitely better man page for sure! (: Just know, you don't need every single features of PF to have a great router. PF does

Re: Shell for PF

Well in this case JunOS, IOS, and Brocade would be what people know and are accustomed to, because these are common brands. But I was speaking of my experiences in working at an ISP and using vendors that most people haven't heard of. Alcatel, Atrica to name a couple, multi-service customer
