I have a collection of work-from-home and mobile users who are going to need to move to a hardware VPN solution. Most of these users are highly technical and familiar with VM operation.
We have decided to issue Supermicro Sys E300 D systems as hypervisor platforms to be issued to "Road warriors" or work-from-home types, as it's a platform that is able to run hyper-V, VMWare, CentOS with KVM, or anything else, it has 6x 1G network adapters, and 2x 10G network adapters.
Anyway, we are looking for suggestions on virtual machine instances to run as a "remotely managed NAT/SoHo router".
Free is nice, but not a requirement. Required features:
- v4 nat/routing
- v6 routing
- ipsec tunneling back to HQ (bonus points if it's dynamically self-configuring and doesn't depend on static IP address configurations for branch locations)
- AD/radius authentication
- typical stateful firewall operation
- dns server with caching
- basic antivirus/botnet protection is a plus, not required
- SNMP or other remote monitoring/logging
- policy based firewall application from a centrally managed control point
I think what I'm looking for is... [you know what, i'm not going to say what I think I want, because I want to ask for unbiased opinions. I'll update this later with what I (thought) i wanted.]
The solution should be able to run "well" on 8GB of ram, 5GB of SSD.
