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
