Good router
Can any one recommend a good adsl router for home use but needs to have good reliable nat features.
For use in the uk and with out spending a fortune. Thanks |

OpenBSD hey ive no problem with that. I guess you have a small machine with a pci wan card ?

Any 486+, old Mac, old Sparc box can be used, one doesn't need a Soekris or similar WRAP platform. In my case, the "home" router is an OpenBSD/i386 platform that also provides a number of additional network services.
There's been lots of discussion, here, of the advanced network capabilities of the *BSDs over any SOHO router. In the case of OpenBSD, that includes the extremely capable PF (which has been ported to FreeBSD), as well as features such as carp(4), ifstated(8), pfsync(4), relayd(8) ... the list is endless. |

Surely your "ADSL router" has a bridge mode, that way you can connect it to your system via Ethernet and use a separate PPPoE client.
OpenBSD has 2 PPPoE implementations, pppoe(4)(in-kernel) and pppoe(8)(userland). I've only seen an internal PCI ADSL card once, I'm fairly certain they are not supported by BSD. |

In the end I bought a Netgear DG632 which I read works good with openbsd or maybe I could use pfsense.
But openbsd would be more satisfying because we dont like things too easy |

oh don't you worry, ppoe with nat and pf and altq is fun enough to configure! the best is the MTU size setting- doh! I shouldn't have said anything!
