I'm trying to decide on a solution to remote desktop back to my server at my home office when out on the road. I'd basically need something that supports 2-3 SSL VPN connections to the network. I have a Windows Home 2011 Server in place right now that I use (via it's builtin homserver.com function), but I don't see the point (or need) for a full-blown WHS when I'm only using it as a RDP solution.
I've looked at a couple of option, and pared it down to the following:
1. Untangle (I have a spare mini-itx box w/G620 laying around I could use this for)
2. ZyXel UGS 50
3. Sonicwall TZ100
I understand that Untangle would be the cheapest solution, but I thought I'd solicit feedback on it as far as a Hardware vs. Software solution? I don't need a lot of the bells and whistles that come with the TZ100 or UGS 50, but if overall it's a better solution than Untangle, I'm all for low maintenance.
If I went the Untangle route, I'm wondering what everyone's opinion of on-board NICs vs. add-on NICs (i.e. Intel EXPI9301CTBLK) would be for this?
Thanks, in advance, for your inputs.
