Hi All,
I am on the lookout for a software firewall that can handle two internet connections, URL filtering (Its an educational network), proxy server (with category blacklists), connectivity to Active Directory (Multiple group privileges, time based access, etc). The firewall would also need to handle Outlook Anywhere connectivity.
Preferably, I'd like to set up one internet connection to be dedicated to a select few computers (Servers, certain users computers) and the other connection to handle the rest of the browsing bandwidth.
We host a web server and exchange server behind the firewall.
I've looked at Microsoft Forefront, but am confused between the different versions (TMG - standard or enterprise, UAG), we've used IPCop before the second line was installed but this now doesn't handle dual WAN's.
My question is, can anyone advise me on which software firewall would be suitable for the above scenario? Do you have any suggestions/comments for me? Ideally, a hardware firewall would work well, but we are constrained by a tight budget...
Thanks in advance!
