Probably been discussed (to death) before, but I really like the Soekris series of boxes. Very low power requirement, inexpensive (compared to other gear), good performance and can really run! m0n0wall distributes a flash image on a flash card specifically for their hardware.
I have Debian on mine as a home router, with iptables, openvpn, fail2ban, dhcp3-server and a few other nifty packages. From my experience the VPN will push about 8Mb/sec - which is more than the downstream limit on my cable and WAY more than the upstream.

I prefer to put the modem into transparent mode and do the firewalling/NAT using something with more firepower. IPCop (Linux) and m0n0wall (FreeBSD) are both excellent, free and need relatively low end hardware. Also quite easy and quick to setup. sai 2009/1/13 Ken Fox <kenfox () starlinx com>:Folks - Does anyone have a good source of information on vulnerabilities in OTS residential gateways? Specifically DLINK & NETGEAR? no new news here but I was getting flooded with inbound traffic so I powered my cable modem down for a while. within 25 seconds of power up with a NEW IP address, I was getting scanned again. Oh, and the best part is that the source IP was 10.10.10.10.... -- Ken _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com https://listserv.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards_______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com https://listserv.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
