Researching best solution for network security

[amrogers3]

Hello!

I have a home network and want to tinker around with it and learn about network security.

I would like to install a firewall device between my external router and internal router

gateway ---> firewall ---> router ---> snort ---> switch ---> NAS, Syslog server


I am looking at pfSense, Cisco ASA 5505, or the Untangle firewall

I know the ASA will take some time to configure but that isn't a problem

Does anyone have any experience with the above and can provide recommendations?

Thanks!!

I recently purchased a unit from www.cloudfirewalls.com and it is working great for me. Give it a shot
