Hi
Folks,
I'm considering
implementing a VPN as an alternative to international ISDN dialup routers we
currently use.
My applications
are basically Windows Terminal Services (No Citrix at the moment) plus LPR for
printing to JetDirect type print servers.
I was thinking of
using some sort of VPN appliance to handle encryption at remote offices, not
least because I can't load SecureClient onto a printer device. Options
presented to me include Intel, Lucent, GnatsBox, Sonicwall, PDS and
Cisco. We currently have FW4.1 (no VPN) as our central firewall but I might
dump it in favour of something cheaper - it seems overkill for our internet
usage and we have no significant in-house skills. Right now it looks like the
smart money is on Cisco.
Does anyone out
there have experience of running these devices, either in terms of the
approach / configuration and/or specific hardware?
Any contributions
most appreciated.
