Does one of these exist?
It's pretty difficult to work out which instance to choose [:)] And they aren't exactly cheap.....

Hi,
What features do you plan to use?
How much bandwidth (peak, in mbps or gbps) will be passed?
With
no
features other than firewall rules enabled, you could scrape by with 512mb, but up2dates may not work.
With IPS & firewall only, 1GB might work but 2GB is preferred.
With proxies and A/V, add another 1-2GB.
If a LOT of simultaneous connections, VPNs, etc., add more RAM and CPU.
The CPU requirements are largely dependent on the bandwidth needed, and # of VPNs.
