A customer called looking to replace this: Safe@Office | Check Point Software
(He doesn't have that particular one, he's got a checkpoint safe@office 100)
He's been using it for a few years, but it isn't currently working with 10.6 and the company has been "beta testing" support for 10.6 for more than a year. He would like to just move on and buy something new.
He's looking specifically a VPN and firewall solution.
Any recommendations?

If he wants to pay through the nose, Sonicwall/Juniper.
Cheaper, a Draytek Vigor router, or some variants of Netgear.
Dirt cheap, build a Pfsense box out of an old PC.

SonicWall is extremely good-and they price their stuff accordingly. But as seanc says, you can use pfsense and a reasonably configured (not at all expensive) PC to do the same thing for a fraction of the cost. This is one application for those VIA-based microATX motherboards-the ones with the low power processor soldered to the board and that take only a tiny bit of cooling. Small, low cost and easy to work with, these little boxes are very flexible and very useful.
