      I am curious if anybody had any luck installing PfSense on the Sonicwall TZ180 device?  It's a solid piece of hardware just wanted to get rid of their crappy firmware.

      I'd imagine the NSA 3500 would be easier since it's almost like WatchGuard's.

        The TZ-180 appears to use a MIPS processor so no luck there.  :(
        See: http://forum.m0n0.ch/index.php?topic=5016.0

        The nsa 3500 appears too new and expensive for anyone to have tried opening it yet!

          Thanks for the heads up.  Figured the TZ-180 is a no go which is a shame for a solid piece of hardware.

          As for the NSA 3500 it's got a removable CF card so I can load PfSense 2.0 on it.  Yeah I know what you mean it being too new but it was a competitive upgrade for the WatchGuard so it's defunt now.  Figured I'd try to turn it into a standby firewall for the WatchGuard.

          Will let you know how it goes with the NSA.

            I think the NSA 3500 use also a MIPS CPU (IMHO a quad MIPS?!)
