Hello,

I would like to use a soekris 5501-70 board with Monowall as backup-firewall. Is this board able to handle up to 150 users or is it better to use a pc/other hardware?

best regards,

Sarge

It's not so much the number of users, but the amount of bandwidth and the type of usage that you'll be doing.  If a lot of those 150 users will be doing VPN, you will probably want some beefy hardware.

Hi,

only 3-5VPN connections, the rest is only http/https traffic (internet usage). Whats the best way to determine the bandwidth usage at the moment?

best regards,

Sarge
