A few weeks ago, I had a look through ebuyer's catelogue, and I came
across something truly marvelous.
It's called a Netgear ProSafe FVS114. It's a hardware firewall and VPN
tunneling device. Exactly what I need for a project I'm looking at. And
it's a tiny £40. (By contrast, the firewall/VPN box we have at work is
about £7,000. But then, it does say Cisco on it...)
Anyway, I got hold of the user manual from Netgear's website and had a
good read. It sounds like quite a flexible device. Perfect for what I
want to do. Yay! (It's also a 4-port Ethernet switch - extra useful!)
So today I went back to ebuyer to buy one. Except... it's gone.
Completely vanished. I can't find it anywhere. The closest thing I can
find is the Netgear FVS318 - but that's £100. I can't understand where
the device I wanted has gone...
Damn. I think I just missed a seriously good deal. :-(

Amazon.co.uk also sell it, and it's in stock, and it's still £40. Yay!
Thank you Froogle!! :-D

That's the spirit. First complain here and then ask Google.
Sounds like an cheap solution to blow holes in your firewall. Are you
sure your company is not insecure enough by management design alone to
also need to physically blow it? or is it for home use?

No no, this puppy is just for home use. ;-)

Interesting... I purchased it from Amazon, but it's actually some other
random company selling it to me. Hmm. Oh well, just so long as it turns
up OK! ;-)
[I actually just ordered 2, just in case they vanish again...]

Amazon does this sort of thing - their main products are books, music,
and videos, but they've created a sort of "marketplace" where you can buy
nearly anything you want...

I see... So if I buy a fridge from Amazon, I'm really buying it from
some other random company. Amazon just runs the website and processes
the payments? (And takes a slice of the money...)
I was wondering how a book store is suddenly able to sell cars and
office desks...

Yep, exactly. :-)

And now I have one FVS114 sitting under my desk working away.
Hmm. Except that a few minutes ago, it suddenly stopped working
completely. (As in, wouldn't even answer ping requests.) I had to reset
it. But then it worked fine again. Hmm... that had *better* not happen
again! :-S
Anyway, now all I need to figure out is how to open a hole in the outer
router to let IPsec traffic through to the FVS114. Hmm, goodie. Despite
having read the entire user manual, I can't find any details of exactly
what settings are required for this. Oh dear.
