Unified Threat Management or NExt Generation Firewall appliance
I currently have at home a UTM5 Netgear UTM device\appliance
Netgear is moving away from this, and renewing my subscription for another year seems silly considering other options.
I need an all inclusive device that does web filter, anti-virus, malware, IPS, content filtering, firewall, VPN, etc.
I need the throughput with everything enabled to be over 200MB at least
I need to have at least 4+5 1GB ports.... I should have ability to do DHCP server, DNS lookup, and etc like most firewalls.
I need to be able to do application control or exclusions... example apps like Netflix, hulu, etc shouldn't be scanned.
And the biggest thing is price.... I know all the big hitters and by the time you add the device and license, it can be quite pricey...
So I am looking for a good, intuitive device from a reputable company that meets the requirements with SPEED... at a low cost.
Total firewall throughput is different when all is enabled, total fiorewall throughput should be around 1.5-2GB

MY ISP is 105MB... so I guess anything above that would be ideal, but it seemed like sonic wall was expensive..
And uncertain what all license I needed.
I also want a model that allows for the upgrade of ISP speed.
Currently with the appliance I have with allo AV, Ant-Malware, SPAM, web content filtering, HTTP/HTTPS
along with app control it only has throughput of 20MB.. which sucks.. So I need all throughtput with all scanning to be over 100-200MB...

also can you flash over the netgear UTM5 firmware with another free opensource UTM firmware.
Does any exist? would this elimate the need to buy a new appliance?

Your ISP is probably 105mb, bits, not MB bytes.
