From what I can tell at first glance, packet inspection can be increase your risk surface. I would rather not pay for a service where any company could decide to inspect “their” traffic, ie ISPs like Comcast. Would it be safe to argue that those older tp link r600 or r605 vpn routers could be safe bet? There are two models, 60$ and 90$ retrospectively.
I did check out the netgate 1100, I feel they possibly could be a better way to go? The latest mdoel of firewall, or generation at least, I think the 1100 would be newer than the tl r605 or tl r600, this possibly the best route? (pun intended). that would be 200$.
I guess I will ask, can the r600 /r605 do the same as the 1100? What would be the real world differences, (noticable)?
Thanks
