        I've been using pfSense for more than a decade now and it served me very well. I would need a very good reason to switch to VyOS if going the DIY route 🙂

          @brianlittlejohn I'll second the build your own. A used 1u server from xByte with VyOS. I don't think anything else will come close to that price point. I know the NTG lab was running on a Supermicro and 40gb NIC cards on VyOS, but don't remember the other specs on it.

            I'm forgetting your across the pond today, and I'm not remembering the quality aftermarket vendors in Europe 😕

              Well, I could go for DIY, but I'm a little bit concerned about the VPN throughput. I think I would need some sort of crypto acceleration, either as a CPU/GPU feature or some other external crypto hardware.

              My point about buying an appliance: One throat to choke.

                  Always a valid point. Just be sure to get the sales minions to document that it will meet that 1GB/s VPN performance.

                    Usually good. We struggled a bit with black death here a bit ago, but it's getting better since we got running water and power right out of the wall outlet 😛 You do know that the world's largest internet exchange is in Frankfurt? 😉
