Home Filtering

[AceDaz]

Hi All

 

Can anyone recommend a easy pro home firewall?

 

I use the Sophos UTM Home edition but I was wondering what else was out there.

 

Features required:

 

DHCP Server

DNS Server

Web filtering for kids

Web Publishing from a DMZ

Ability to automatically block Internet access at certain times on certain devices (ie Kids bedtimes)

 

Nice to have:

Android app to block Internet on certain devices at any time

Easier to view logs

 

I use Fortinet at work and know it very well, but i dont think they have a Foc home version.

I've been using the home halo router for the last 18 months. It plugs into your normal router and provides a second wifi ssid. You can disable your normal ssid and it'll manage all your devices or as I've done run it side by side.

 

It's got an app as you requested, but it is monthly subscription. Need to weigh this up against the electricity cost of a pc running 24/7 before my renewal.
