I recently installed Astaro Free Home edition. When I introduced the security gateway into my network, everything stopped working. The VoIP adapter stopped, Windows Home Server external access stopped, I could not send e-mail from Outlook using Gmail accounts...I spent hours searching on the web for solutions and was finally able to fix all the above issues after 8 hours of trial and error. I still see dropped packets from Microsoft web site and do not know why.
I am not a networking newbie but I feel that the complexity of Astaro makes it unfit for home use. I can never imagine an average home user knowing about SNAT/DNAT, Service, dropped packets, rules, ports, proxies etc.
My suggestion is to create a "How To" document which explains how to make various things work after introducing ASG into a home network.
Thanks...
