      Dear All,

      I'd like to buy a Netgate HW appliance for a remote office.
      This site is composed by:

      • 130 clients
      • 100 Mbps internet connection

      They have not particolar requirements.. the clients need to access to the cloud services on Internet. Web filtering could be a good function, bandwith limitation and, in the future, the chance to have some vpn connections to the local LAN (smart working).

      What kind of model should i consider? Any suggestions?

      Thanks for your support.

        Your needs could be handles by a SG-3100 just fine, but growing in the future with that will be a little troublesome.

        I would definately go with a SG-5100 in your case.

        Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)

          Yup, I would say the same. Any firewall will handle it, even the 1100, but if you want to use VPNs, filtering, traffic shaping etc and have that many clients I'd go for the 5100. Or the 6100 now.
