Dana, I vote for TPF on a Win 3.11 box. :) It is all opinion, whatever you are most comfortable with, and has all the optional/features that you desire. Then that is the one you go with. And whatever anyone else has to say or think DMS!!!

I have gathered that OpenBSD would be more secure than Linux, and Cisco appears to be an industry leader. However, with all things being equal (i.e. experience level of security administrator, proper configuration, etc.) which firewall would be "most" secure and reliable? A) OpenBSD (non-ASIC) B) Cisco (ASIC) Next, taking into consideration VPN needs on each system, which would be considered "most" secure and reliable?
