[lug] VPN solution

[jason schaefer]

I use the snapgear hardware firewall/vpn appliances from secure 
computing (formerly cyberguard). They have a lot of bang for the buck! 
They are gnu/linux based and have a web interface for easy 
configuration. They are not completely open with their implementations 
(although you do have shell). Some features are subscription based. But 
nothing like the nasty sonicwalls.

Here is a link to their product page:

As for juniper, they are way overpriced and completely proprietary. I 
know people who are using Vyatta instead. It is a enterprise firewall 
solution that is Free friendly and provides great support.
