+1 to this. 


I have pfSense running on my Alix board as my home funtimes. 
Just run a separate AP (probably should separate AP from pfSense anyway) and get you some n :)

pfSense running on an Alix board. If you put a wifi card in one you can run it as your AP as well but watch out that 
because it is based on BSD at the moment it is limited to 802.11abg and not n.

Not Debian/Ubuntu, but you should add pfSense to your list.

Folks, 


I would like to setup an Internet security box for my home network for firewalling, dhcp, IDS, web filtering, and 
possibly VPN. It has been a long time since I've looked at the various Linux security distros that do this (I think 
Astaro Security was the best choice back then). 


I did a few searches and it seems like there are a LOT of distros/products available now. 


Here are just a few I came across: 


1. Untangle - http://www.untangle.com/ 
2. Vyatta - http://www.vyatta.org/ 
3. Zentyal - http://www.zentyal.org/ 
4. Sophos UTM (formley Astaro) - http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-utm-home-edition.aspx 
5. Engarde Linux - http://www.engardelinux.org/ 
6. Smoothwall - http://www.smoothwall.org/ 
7. ClearOS - http://www.clearfoundation.com/Software/overview.html 


I do not care if it is gui or cli based. I would prefer something based on Debian/Ubuntu, but not absolutely necessary. 


Does anyone have any experience with the above distros/products or could you recommend something else you like? 


Thanks, 
Jason
