Hey all,

My Dad's finishing some renovations this year and is thinking of getting some uni boarders next year and we got discussing internet connections.
What I'd like to put in is a firewall/ router box to share the internet connection (Telstra Cable). We figured out his needs are:
- privacy, each person cant see the others - (Easy, subnetting, filtering)
- logging, Telstra slows the connection to 28K at 10 Gig/month.
- rate shaping (QoS), when a person DLs 3 gig or so, their connection is slowed to make it fair on everyone else.
- easy monitoring - including personal accounting system for each boarder
- email notification of abuses/limits

I'm looking at something like Astaro or SmoothWall.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
