The New D-Link VPN Edge

[pointcheck]

Has anyone tried the new D-Link DFL-CP310? It looks just like the Checkpoint/Sofware appliance, but cheaper. (Around $250).

What I'd like to do is use these in a site-to-site VPN managed by a Checkpoint Smartcenter, in place of the VPN Edge X. They are so much cheaper, about 25% of the checkpoint product.

Does anyone know if I can do this, or have already done it? Thanks!

I've found used VPN-1 Edge X Unlimited boxes for cheaper then this.

Looks like its comparable to the model just below the XU.


Edge XU numbers:
Performance 150 Mbps
Concurrent connections 8,000
VPN Performance (3DES) 30 Mbps

D-link numbers:
6,000 Concurrent Connections
20Mbps Performance (3DES)
Also has this note:
• User limit Upgradeable (10, 25, Unlimited)
• Services Upgradeable (Web Filter, Antivirus)

The D-Link is indeed a Safe@Office box being OEM'ed by d-link. It should be priced about the same as a Safe@ as it is not manageable by SmartCenter and doesn't have the performance pack. I'm not sure if its SMP compatible either.

On the low end there is also the ZoneAlarm box, which is the same code.

Agreed. Our CSP replied that is a Safe@200 which is exclusively distributed in the US. These won't be covered by normal Check Point support, instead you would have to ask D-Link in support cases. It's a low price product by all means, deal with it.

I am thinking to use the ZoneAlarm box for home, sadly, it's only ship to US and there's no local distribution in our country.
