Best Linux firewall

 For that price you could be in a fully supported Meraki, for example, and that's far from a cheap device. It would take less than two years to pay it off assuming you were running your Untangle on free hardware that you already owned.

 For only $99, you can have one of these running Vyatta: http://www.amazon.com/EdgeRouter-ERLite-3-512MB-Ethernet-Router/dp/B00CPRVF5K

 $89 plus shipping from Baltic networks, so depending on your Amazon shipping rates. That may be a better place to buy it. 
 I love the ERL. I have 10 of them in production around various clients.http://www.balticnetworks.com/manufacturers/ubiquiti/edgemax-routers.html

 @scottalanmiller the ERL and ERPOE are 1 billion packets per second (pps). The ER is 2 billions pps and the ER Pro is 2+ billion pps. This is all according to their spec sheets. I have never stressed tested anything. My clients couldn't stress and ERL if they tried.

 I wish that there was a ERL that was rack mount. That would be way better.
