      Hi,

      I have just purchased the SG-1100.

      Any recommended setup, in terms of extra packages.

      Would like to setup a secure firewall, so any recommendations on that front as well.

      Thank You

        It blocks all incoming connections by default so should be secure out of the box. 😉

        But you can install additional packages to improve that. Typically you might use Snort or Suricata for active IDS/IPS. The pfBlocker package allows you to add blacklists to deny outbound connections to.

        However you would want to be careful applying those as the RAM in the SG-1100 is limited and both those packages can use a lot of RAM if you just choose all the lists available.
