BlankI think one of the very best options is pfSense.  Free Open-source, but 
it's BSD based, rather than LINUX based.  As such it has a lower risk of 
external exploits.  The user-interface makes it incredibly simple to set up and 
maintain.  There is an embedded versions of it available to run on 
affordable/reliable solid-state, diskless, fanless Soekris/PCEngines embedded 
system boards.   

It's incredibly powerful, and It's ROCK SOLID. I find the traffic shaping 
engine to work without a hitch.  PFSense can do anything you want including VPN 
(PPTP, IPSec, OpenVPN), failover (Multi-WAN), IDS/IPS (snort)

The NEWEST embedded version 1.2.3 rc3 (1.2.3-release is very close) can run the 
sipproxd package as well as many other packages that previously required the 
FULL version.  Goodbye one-way audio! :-)

  Subject: [asterisk-users] Best Firewall Suggestions?


  Hi,

  My customer has a outdated firewall that is also presenting a NAT nightmare 
for getting the Asterisk server reachable from the internet. 

  What firewalls work good with VOIP? I really want to steer away from any ALG 
supported firewall. I just want a good firewall that works well with Asterisk.

  Thanks,

  David Wathen
