Ok first of all. Tried to get a OpenBSD firewall running without much luck. It was great keeping stuff out but pain in the butt on letting things in 🙂. More or less im saying that computers behind my firewall worked great. Get port forwarding working was another mater. I even used the pf.conf example directly from their documenation and it didn't work. I gtot sick of messing with it. Anyways. I decided to buy one of the routers tonight that you can put one of the open source firmwares on. I bought a buffalo WHR-G54S. I would like pretty advanced features like QOS, Port Forwarding, Maybe VPN in the future. Which of the firmware is the best (OpenWRT, dd-wrt, Seasoft)? If your running this firmware how stable is it. I am running a vonage router right now and it sucks. I don't blame linksys i blame the vonage router firmware developers and that they don't know how to develop router hardware correctly. If im hardly doing anything i will usually have to reboot the router once a week. Stuff will start o get flakey (msn messanger and yahoo messanger) constantly being disconnected and other wierd problems like when i try to log in with RDS i will constantly be disconnected (ever minute). Now if im running torrent stuff.....i have to reboot it ever day. I am really sick of dealing with this. My old linksys router i NEVER had to reboot with over a year of uptime. Anyways how stable is the firmware version your recommending? Do you ever have reboot your router because it gets flakey?

thanks,
Ncage
 
I run dd-wrt and love it

I've never really played with the others much as dd-wrt did everything I needed, and has worked flawlessly, so ymmv
 
I'm not doing firewalling with it, but dd-wrt has worked great for me so far. For that I use OpenBSD. 😉

DD-WRT or Tomato (new firmware from the developer of HyperWRT +Tofu).

Personally, I've been thinking of trying out Tomato as the PPPoE implementation in DD-WRT SP1/SP2 is slightly sub-par for those of us that have the higher tiers of Verizon's fiber service...
