Good Morning,
I'm looking to cancel the SecureME product from Telecom and get our own managed box, wondering if anyone could suggest alternatives, brands, models that are similar to this product ?
Cheers,
G

Kraven: IIRC, SecureMe is just Telecom reselling/rebranding Mako Networks services.

No idea of the costs involved in using it directly from Mako, but I'm sure someone here will be able to share...
Hmmmm

timbosan: Forgive me if the comparison is wrong, but if you are looking for a UTM box that you can manage (and tweak) yourself, why not look at Untangle (www.untangle.com)?
I have run it (at home) for 3 years now, across various hardware, and have never had a problem (well, apart from one strange issue with the virus scanner thinking Apple downloads over port 80 where suspect and killing them....).
It does all the firewall stuff plus anitvirus, spam management, full reporting etc.
Having read the Untangle forums there are some large (1000's of seats) environments that it is used in.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but are you running the free version or the paid version? How do you find it?
timbosan:
I am running the free version, but seriously looking into paying for the new web cache module.
I find it an excellant product - it has given me minimal problems (except for the one above) and just does the job. I haven't had any virus issues in 2 years even with kids downloading everything, and it protects them from all the porn out there too.
I have it running on a 3Ghz P4 with 2GB Ram, an old Shuttle machine, and it doesn't slow down any of the network traffic (I can still max out my ADSL2+ line) - there is a small delay at the end of every download whilst it scan the files for viruses, but thats all.
I run all the free modules.
