Software Router: pfSense or Vyatta ?
- by Kedare
Hello,
I'm rebuilding my home network and I am look to an alternative to the very expensives Cisco.
So I take a lookt at the software routers, I've found Vyatta and pfSense. I have tested both and I find both great, but I don't know which one to choose.
I need a router software that :
Supports IPv6 (both do with pfSense 2 RC1)
Allows me to join an OpenVPN Network
Is free
Configurable by CLI (WebGUI is a plus)
After some testing, it looks like both a very featured, but Vyatta looks more CLI-centric where pfSense looks more WebGUI-centric.
Which do you recommend me ? Why ?
Is there any limitations on the free version of Vyatta ?
I would like to run it on a small box like Soekris ones, it that possible ? (pfSense will run it, but I'm not sure with Vyatta)
Thank you
