Introduction
| SMC Barricade Plus Cable/DSL Broadband router | |
|---|---|
| Summary | VPN version of popular Barricade router with SPI based firewall and PPTP / IPsec VPN endpoint, but no printserver or dialup WAN support.

| Cons | • No Web traffic logging
• No inbound port range mapping • 760kbps IPsec VPN performance • Poor IPsec VPN setup logging |
