          Netgate 1100 pfSense+ Security Gateway: Compact, Cost-Effective, and Reliable Network Protection

          I have experience working with and using various firewalls, including Cisco ASA, Check Point, and Palo Alto Network Next Generation Firewalls. I found that the Netgate 1100 pfSense+ Security Gateway offers a competitive edge and is an excellent solution for small to medium-sized networks. It provides robust security features in a compact and affordable package. Its open-source pfSense+ software allows for extensive customization, making it an ideal fit for both network enthusiasts and small business owners.
          The device is easy to set up, even for users with limited technical knowledge, and offers a wide range of features, including VPN support, firewall management, and traffic shaping. Its performance is reliable, with good throughput for its size, although it may not be the best choice for very high-traffic environments.
          One of the standout aspects is the user-friendly pfSense+ interface, which provides detailed control over network security.
          Overall, the Netgate 1100 is a powerful and flexible security gateway that delivers excellent value for its price point.

          NetGate 1100

          This is the only product that I've bought so far but it is an amazing piece of hardware and software! I needed only once to reflash the device because of my mistake and the support was quick, really kind and helpful. They provided me an image for my device to reflash. This device puts all other routers/firewalls that I've used so far in its pocket! It is the gate of my home network and the device is brutal with its many functionalities and ofcourse it is FreeBSD based!

          Guys, happy holidays and keep up the good work!
          You are awesome!
          Thanks you!

          NETGATE 1100

          Using about a year and has been great for learning and routing traffic in my home network. Have rolled out other Netgate's to small Biz using the 2100. Great products.

          Great to hear, thanks for the review!

          IF YOU'RE SITTING ON THE FENCE, IT'S TIME TO JUMP.

          I'm a dabbler in computer security. I've built my own hardware firewalls out of old computers, and they were always kind of slow. I was afraid this little 1100 would be, too, but it's not. I haven't had any bandwidth issues. It worked right out of the box with just a bit of configuration, but of course, I had to play with it. The fact that it runs pfSense is amazing. To have that kind of power and flexibility in this little box is almost unbelievable. So if you're sitting on the fence, not believing, like I did for a very long time, I suggest you give it a try. I think you'll be favorably impressed.

          Thanks for your feedback!
