On the other hand, if you have a 100Mbps WAN link (200 Mbps full-duplex), then you should be looking at the 60E model in order to accommodate full Threat Protection throughput.Д®DIT: The newest Fortigate 60F model can support 1Gbps Internet speed with full Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) features enabled. For that scenario, the 30E or 50E would be a great option. This means that Full-Duplex bandwidth would be 100-140 Mbps. I would suggest to take the lowest throughput rating on the datasheet (see also Table above) and use that as a soft rule of thumb.ДЇor example, assume you have a small office network with around 50-70 Mbps WAN link (or ISP Internet link). It is generally better to select a model based on the traffic bandwidth usage, the WAN link speed and what security features you will have enabled on the device. The models above are compact fanless devices mainly used in branch office networks of large enterprises or in small to mid-size businesses (with up to around 50-60 users or more depending on traffic usage). (NOTE: The only difference between 50E vs 51E and 60E vs 61E is that the 51E and 61E models include also an internal SSD disk drive for log storage). In this article I will compare and describe three popular entry-level Fortigate models, the 30E, 50E/51E and 60E/60F/61E. One of the characteristics of Fortinet in the hardware firewall market is that they have launched more than 40 different models of firewalls with varying specs and features to cover the whole range of industry needs.Д«eing a вЂњsecurity focusedвЂќ company, their business model is just that: To cover every security need of companies, from SMBs up to larger Enterprises and Service Providers.

UPDATE: Here is the newer and better Fortigate 60F with great specs and features. Best option for Small to Medium Size business. Fortigate 60E: The most powerful from the three.Fortigate 50E: A вЂњmiddle-groundвЂќ appliance between 30E вЂ“ 60E.FortiGate 30E: Value for Money option for home networks, small office or even SMB networks.In many cases they have managed to displace other traditional security vendors such as Cisco, Juniper, Checkpoint etc by offering more cost effective and flexible solutions.ДЇor example, in the company that I work we were extensively using Cisco ASA firewalls in many parts of the network which are now gradually being replaced by Fortigate firewalls.

Sure, if you manage to get it to connect, then it stays connected without problems, so I suspect that the underlying software to do that part is written by someone else, because it works.As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Using an open source VPN client does not work either because they mess with the protocol so they does not work as previously documented, so you have to use their client, which as mentioned does not work properly.

It randomly starts some kind of 'vulnerability scan' and when you click the login button it randomly pops up a 5 minute timeout errors and after that an error to try again. It just does not do it unless the login button is clicked. And the worst thing, it refuses to connect automatically even if there are such functions built in because there are check boxes for auto connect.

It fiddles with the account key ring randomly and reverts master password for it even though that has been disabled previously so the key ring dialog pops up. I have no clue why it suddenly started to work so I expect it to suddenly stop to work too. It will not connect up until the point you have re-installed it enough - whenever that is, it only hangs on 'Connecting'. You have to re-install it several times to get it working. All should be the same but they are not, there are at least three different numbered versions available. It comes in a wide range of versions depending on from where you get it - by official download, official repository or sent to you by an administrator. Usually such software works in both OS:es since they are closely related, but for this it is not the case. They claim they do not have support for Debian but they have for Ubuntu. Their Linux VPN client Forticlient is unreliable and works very badly on Debian.
