We're waiting on an official statement from Astaro on this issue. A lot of very dissapointed people.
From what I can see, ASL was selling well in ver 4.XXX and now with v5 the price has been increased to get a fully functional product and home users / power users are getting dumped on. Especially since most people doing beta eval feedback for ASL 5 were doing it on home boxes !
Okey thanks for the answer. For without Inrusion Protection you can´t call it firewall anymore even if you use it at home like me. I was verry dissapointed and i read in some place here Inrusion Protection should cost $3000/yer and it´s lot of money for me to use ASL for home only.
Hi, if you look for IDS-Systems you can buy a license for a stand alone IDS like "Packet Alarm" for a little bit more than the license costs of the Astaro-IPS and than it is standalone and protects the firewall to.
If you must pay for Inrusion Protection in astaro v5 you can´t call it firewall without Inrusion Protection for homeusers. Becuse without Inrusion Protection astaro is useless.
