I would definitely prefer working with Sophos over TrendMicro anyday.

Anyone coming into this thread and missing the other announcements, here is the product that was once TrueCrypt, now fully restored.... https://ciphershed.org/

@Carnival-Boy sorry about Meriaki, we've seen a lot of that. Little response, no following through on commitments. They like big customers these days, they have high overhead. I think that you will be very happy with the Ubiquiti though!

It's awesome that there is now a formal project for this and they changed the name so the "TrueCrypt is dead" people don't have to know that it is still around.

The is also a project called ch or something like that it seems from reading that forum link.

If you combine the drive failure rate calculator for RAID 0 with the URE Risk of the RAID 5 calculator you can actually get some decent idea of total risk.

But it's totally unmanageable for anything other than tiny environments. To the degree that I would say the low cost version is no longer available.

Yeah, If only that were true, that's it no longer available. The powers that be know they exist because they see it in the store 'Office Home Business Edition'

Yes but I wear prescription lenses.

So do I (or is it eye?) 😉

Windows IT Pro has some info too: http://windowsitpro.com/hyper-v/create-hyper-v-2012-usb-boot-stick

If you have an old PC laying around (or find one on kijiji for < $50), put two network cards in it and install pfSense. If you're concerned about power consumption, find a Pentium 3; they draw very little power. If space is an issue and you don't mind spending a few $ (< $200), get an Alix board/case/power supply.

I gave up on consumer routers a while ago. I found mine would choke every time someone started doing a portscan or other weird hacking/scanning attempts on the cable network. I still use a D-Link wireless router for my Wifi access, but it's running openwrt and it's just a bridge between the WLAN and LAN (WAN port is not in use)

Note, I had the "choking" issue on my D-Link and Linksys routers even while they were running openwrt; I think the small CPU's in them just couldn't handle dropping all the packets and while continuing to serve legitimate traffic

My Cisco E3000 running dd-wrt has yet to go down in almost 4 days. Before, it was every 4 hours with my network. No exaggeration. When you host your own website out of the location too, that's really bad. But I know what you mean. The OEM firmware sucks on almost all consumer stuff. Netgear Genie is the best of the lot that I've seen but still pales in comparison to dd-wrt, which I swear by.

@thecreativeone91 cool, I had no idea.

Thanks! This will be helpful.

how do they compare to the Ubiquiti?

True. Security is very pop.

I've seen a lot of new big label content recently.

I had my PCOIP setting incorrect, after putting in the correct settings everything is working great.

The concept to watch out for is "investing in technical debt".

So which product did you end up using in the end?

Makes sense. Thanks for the info.
