I could do that, but that is just putting a band-aid on a gaping wound. I forgot I have another access point, printer, and managed switch. Soooo, you get the idea.



What I would REALLY like to do is get in on one of Astaro's beta's where they hand out the 25 IP licenses....;-) I just can't justify paying for it. I currently am running a CentOS 4-based firewall with Arno's IPTables firewall script, and for firewall only, this has been great for at least four years and is incredibly simple to set up and maintain. The only functionality I've been missing of late is being able to VPN into my home network. Instead of setting up OpenVPN I thought I'd give ASG a whirl. When I ran up against the 10 IP limit I moved on to trying Untangle on Ubuntu. Nice excuse to get some Ubuntu experience, being a Red Hat lifer. Well, been there, done that, and not happy with the results. Currently I'm installing the appliance version of Untangle (from the .iso) instead of putting it on top of Ubuntu v8.04 to see if that's more workable.

Maybe Santa will get me into an Astaro beta resulting in the licenses I need.

My home license doesn't cut into their revenue at all. Their business product is simply too expensive for home use. They will never get that sale.

heading into?

There is a beta going on right now! Just head over to the beta forum and download it, install it, and use it! Active testers will get a 25 IP license!

Is it still 1000 concurrent connections?

/Fredde

I would assume it would be 16,000 , as my 50 IP license is 32,000.

I am with everyone else who has posted here. I really like Astaro, but I need more IPs to simply to run this at home. Everything in this day and age has an IP address, 10 for a home is really no that many.

I would even be willing to pay some for the home product with additional IPs, but it just isn't offered. The commercial version is very pricey for a home user. Maybe if everyone started sending nice formal letters to the CEO and or anyone directly under him/her asking for additional home user solutions, we might get something done. It never hurts to ask.
