    Netgate TNSR would be most suitable if you are in need of fast application traffic and quick packet processing. What I like most about Netgate TNSR is that the network interfaces no longer get cut in half or encrypted traffic hauled so you are able to work on your projects swiftly on stable connections. You will however have to make time to familiarize with the command line interface for quick commands.
