FreeNAS On the Go

Hello,

Someone writes... (A BSDNow joke)

I am finding that my road warrior users want to expose their FreeNAS systems to their laptops and phones but naturally that sounds like a risky proposition. FreeNAS includes OpenVPN and their are various tutorials about setting it up in a FreeNAS jail but a dedicated piece of hardware would presumably have advantages such as Mac, Windows, iOS and Android compatibility without tinkering, plus the warm fuzzies that some with a "real VPN".

Under $300 US would be idea and a quick Amazon search, sorted by reviews yields:

TP-LINK TL-R600VPN $69
CISCO RV042G $176
Cisco RVS4000 $95
Cisco Meraki MX60 $385
Netgear Security appliance 8 ports EN Fast EN $215
NETGEAR ProSAFE FVS318G $111

BUT, some of these have a single five star review which is a bit suspicious.

Have you used any of these units and can you recommend them?

Assuming a SoHo cable Internet connection with a wifi router, where would this unit reside on the LAN and in relationship to the FreeNAS system?

Keep up the good work,

Someone
