ZeroShell is a good distro... (Score 1)

I would highly recommend ZeroShell, it's easy to configure as the name implies no shell required, and it's full of advanced features such as turning your wireless card into a WiFi router and multi-wan fail over, for redundant internet connectivity. This could be useful if you want to use your cell phone's internet for a backup to your main net connection. I just deployed it at my job to replace a Cisco router and access point and I'm not even considering going back to the old hardware. As for security, let's just say after I deployed the firewall rules our PCI compliance auditor couldn't even detect any open ports (even though there are many services running). This distro supports 3 different kinds of VPN access (OpenVPN, IPSec, & PP2P) depending on your preference. It also has easy to install add-ons such as integrated Anti-Virus for all incoming traffic, along with bandwidth monitoring, proxy caching, and content filtering. Check it out at www.ZeroShell.org
