Default Re: NBN so far, whats your experience?

My Optus Netgear will be replaced by a Draytek Vigor 2926 (as soon as I get the coins together) - I will have to keep the Netgear in a DMZ hanging off the Draytek for the phone to work. Support in Syd say they have done this before. Then the free Item will be just a glorified Voip box.


I like the draytek for its VPN (In/Out) and onboard "parental" filtering (Most, including Netgear use a DNS for filtering - that is very easy to circumvent).
My observation is that most ISPs use a crippled version of the firmware - but in the case of the Optus offering, this even stops me from expiring IP leases.



When I have done this I will publish my procedure ... here if the thread is still getting hit
