Anyhow falling back to dial up is scary stuff So I'll be getting another router within a day or so. Any considerations I should look out for? I'm going to be diving into VPN real serious soon. Any feature I should look out for?


I humbly suggest getting your hands on a old ATX PC (a 333 celeron with 256Mo PC100 is FINE) , and use Linux to route your IP through.

It's a VERY price-efficent combination compared to Cisco prices :)

AND IPtables, the IP Packet filtering built into the new kernel,  DO work.

As for Your VPN (bit of an overkill for a small LAN, provider stuff, man) It can do that either.
