I've considered this option also on my WRT54GL flashed with DD-WRT if  
it would work and be able to process the encryption fast enough  
without overclocking the router.

I've also considered setting up a linux box as a firewall with either  
IPCop, Astaro, or Smoothwall. Does anyone have experience with these  
or another OS as a firewall appliance? My primary goal is not only  
security but to control/monitor QoS and total amount of bandwidth  
used. Even though I have a 24Mbit/s connection with high bandwidth  
allowance, I need to use some of it also!

Thanks,

Brad
