Thank you canuckInOR. It looks like I should probably go with either the NetGate SG-3100 (I spec'd it at $442) or the Protectli FW6C (I spec'd it at $568). Each having pros and cons. I am looking at some youtube videos about setup, gui, and hopefu

With respect to the Protectli box, they recommend either the FW6B or FW6C for 1Gbps throughput requirements. I'm only at 100Mbps, and have had no issues with the cheaper machine. BTW, Protectli can also run pfSense, if you don't want to shell out f

... what is interesting about both is that it looks like I could use either of them as my main edge router and let it do link aggregation from my two ISP data links. I am now looking into what kind of reporting system, if any, they offer. Let's say

Roger, just by looking at pfSense, it looks this is pretty much what I was looking for. Thank you. I'll check Firebrick too. I did not know pfSense made appliances as well.

I don't actually have a personal recommendation (I'm just using Synology kit these days), but if I was in the market for a "grown-up" firewall, I'd be looking at pfSense or Firebrick.

So, if I wanted to install a firewall in my relatively complex home network - which became even more complex in the last year as I've been adding quite a few IOT devices -, what would you recommend? Ideal features I'd like to have: - fanless (not es
