Well, I wasn't going to suggest, but since the topic of alternatives is
open...

If you have an older available computer laying around, check out IPCop

    http://www.ipcop.org/

free, has lots of features, runs reliably, I've been on it for years, as
have others on this list. Biggest gripe I have is docs could be a little
better - they tend to not get updated to stay up with the software.
