  • guess what?  your "hardware firewall" is nothing more than software running inside a little box.  Also that "firewall" isn't a firewall..it's only nat.  If you want a true firewall put the astaro in front of everything.  turn off the "firewall" in the router and use it as a switch(aka don't use the wan port).  Let the astaro handle dhcp as well...you'll get real security not the false sense that NAT provides.
