I have been using ASG7 for the past year(ish), back and forth between this, pfSense and IPCop.
I recently noticed that after coming back (and planning to stay) to ASG and having used it for the past couple of months...the same network is now showing me as maxed out at 10 IPs where before (approx 2 months) I was at 7 - nothing has changed.
ASG, I assume after the last update (non-critical) now counts my printer and Netgear switch. I was very understanding with the VoIP devices, as they traverse the FW...but the printer and a switch - how is Astaro protecting those devices?
I know this has been tossed around numerous times, I have read the posts.
Are there any plans to offer something without the Anti-Virus and other protections and just offer a very nice FW solution with a larger IP scale? I really do appreciate the "deal", but the "deal" really is becoming less attractive to a home user with several children, all using their computers, printers, VoIP, X-Box, yadda, yadda....everything has an IP address now.
I am starting to see some nice competitive BSD solutions in a "box" at a very attractive price point without very few, if any restrictions. IMHO, Astaro is beginning to say goodbye to the "home" user. To each their own...that's why it is considered a "free market". Please correct me with fact if I am wrong.
I wouldn't mind testing, but I really don't care to Beta AND be required to post results in hopes of capturing an increased license deal without any guarantees.
Respectfully...mtaylor
