I like Macs, so don't knock the Safari/OS X support!  |

| said by jmpage2 :I like Macs, so don't knock the Safari/OS X support! I'm running Safari 4, and SSL VPN only supports Safari 2 according to the table. I'm guessing Safari 2 is Tiger only, and not Leopard (Safari 3/4) or the upcoming Snow Leopard (Safari 4).
I've been requesting Mac OS X support from ZyXEL for many years, and thankfully the 2.12 release supports L2TP/IPSec with Mac OS X (including the iPhone L2TP/IPSec client)! |

| Although the ZLD development is too slow for my taste, it's good to see it's moving and bugs are fixed and new features introduced. I just wish ZyXel would more listen to community and pick up the pace on critical issues. ...competition is not asleep. -- openSUSE 11.1, KDE 4.2 |

join:2004-12-07 07100 | reply to idolclub I'm a bit disappointed by some things. The ZLD would have brought ZyXEL to better tergets, instead, except some new interesting features a part, we report some lacks in many functions. |

join:2005-02-24 Littleton, CO | reply to Brano The reality is that there is no other $500 SSL UTM, at least not one that has any kind of real market support.
Despite the numerous shortcomings the USG family is still the most competitive UTM in class if you require SSL VPN. |

Draytek VigorPro 5300 SSL VPN UTM Router, bundled with 30 SSL VPN Tunnels, also a good choice. |

| reply to idolclub Just for a fun history anecdote, way back when, about 10+ years ago, Draytek was started by people that left ZyXEL  -- "Perl is executable line noise, Python is executable pseudo-code."

| reply to jmpage2 Works with Vista 32-bit in full tunnel mode, but doesn't work with Windows 7 or Vista 64-bit in full tunnel mode. The Securextender doesn't install, but then again if it is supposed to work then I don't know what to change... Any ideas? I tried with IE7, don't have Firefox installed on those machines yet... |

Curious if anyone has looked at new Sonicwall lineup and pricing: »www.sonicwall.com/us/products/13281.html
I still have an old SOHO3 at my brother-in-laws, and do understand that Sonicwall charges for access to firmware updates and of course they have various subscriptions if you want added features. Wondering how these stack up against ZyWALL USG series. |

| The Sonicwall TZ210 would be the closest thing to the ZyXel USG 100 (2 GigE ports, USB ports, 2 SSL clients, etc)... it does have the added benefit of integrated 802.11G/N.
It requires extra $$$$ though for features that are standard on the ZyXel box, such as an SPI firewall, which carries an annual subscription charge of around $150.
The box itself costs $850 or almost double what USG 100 costs.
I do believe that Sonicwall has far better phone support, etc, than ZyXel, but the boxes cost a LOT more. |
