Alternative to PFsense

[pollardhimself]

I like pfsense a lot but I am stuck on the outbound pptp problem, Since VPN's are a big here. Whats something close to it that allows inbound and outbound connections at the same time

I would be surprised if PFsense doesn't support PPTP Passthru.

You could always go Cisco.

It does just not when you have a pptp server enabled at the same time

Did M0n0Wall work?

It did but It doesnt support ipsec passthrough, and It didnt have as much function so I went back to pfsense and I am just gonna live with since pfsense it awesome. If I need todo a pptp vpn Ill turn the pptp server off

Are you running on x86 hardware or an embedded platform? The embedded options are slim ,but there are quite a few x86 choices. Last I checked, If you are doing multi-wan, and wanting it free, it drops significantly back to one.

Can't wait for the 2.0 builds of PFSense to be finished...

This is old: http://www.fsckin.com/2007/09/04/this-is-the-fastest-review-ever-of-5-linux-firewall-distributions/

but if you follow some of the links you'll find newer versions / options to consider, still not much else free w/ multi-wan and/or runs on embedded systems.

it a old dell server with dual gigabit nics6, I cant remember if its x86 or x64 probably x86. To many pros with pfsense to change for pptp.. Ill just turn the pptp server off when outgoing pptp is needed
