Licensing "Astaro Network Security"

We've been testing the software gateway with a demo license. We're really happy with the SSL VPN, IPS & reporting functionality and plan to buy a Network Security license before the demo expires in 7 days. We don't need Web or Mail security for the moment.

Situation: we have 16 users and only 5 of them will ever need to connect via SSL VPN. As expected we also want to be protected by firewall, IPS, and DoS protection.

Question: will a 10 user pack be enough or do we need to buy the 25 user pack? With the "Essential Firewall" product available I'm a little confused which license to get considering we'll only have 5 SSL VPN users.

Thanks in advance,
James

Thanks for the input guys. Now I know that Astaro counts by total IPs. We're going be buy a 25-IP license; we'll be able to live inside that without issue.

On another note we're running our own hardware, 3.2 GHZ Intel Pentium D based system and have had great performance. I've looked at the Astaro 110/120 and it's hardware spec seems underpowered by comparison. In any case it's the software than does the heavy lifting.

All the best,
James
