PfSense vs Draytek Vigor 3300V

teleweb

How does pfSense compare to a multi-WAN router like the Draytek Vigor3300V ?

The Vigor 3300V has load balancing for 4 WAN ports, IPsec, etc… and the VoIP options are a nice bonus.

But what about features?
Are there important things that pfSense has but the 3300V doesn't?
(or the other way around)

My main interests are:

Best possible QoS for VoIP-over-IP telephony
Load balancing / Failover for 4 WAN links (1 cable + 3 DSL)
Redundant setup with 2 routers
IPSec Connection to a bunch of Windows 2003/2008 servers hosted at a remote site

Thanks!

Why dont you take a look at the feature list and compare them?

You could post the differences/advantages here.

I just updated my message to list the most important things that I'm looking for.
Just by looking at the feature list they both look good, so I am looking for some advice from people who have experience with these features or possibly with the Draytek device itself…

Thanks again.

If they both look good pick the cheaper one…
Seriously though pfsense is work in progress and some features work better than other so I recommend you try and see for yourself if it fits your needs. Regarding your inquiry, IIRC, pfsense will not do QOS and load balance at the same time.

Can anybody please confirm whether it is indeed impossible to combine QoS and load balancing with pfSense?
