Fifty cents and another ten dollars or more to deal with the extra tech support.
- jrockway 16y agoWhen you unpack and plug-in a router, it automatically gets the current time without any tech support. Why not get an SSL cert too?
- JoachimSchipper 16y agoThat works, but unless the router manufacturer has a sub-CA of a CA present in all browsers, the above "extra tech support" is very true. And those sub-CAs are expensive.
- jrockway 16y agoCisco can probably afford it. But remember, we're only talking about SSL-based VPN boxes here. Joe Average does not buy these, and the people that do are willing to pay; handling more than one connection does require some not-tiny hardware. (I have a Soekris router, and Gigabit Ethernet makes pf max-out the CPU at around 300Mbps. OpenVPN... sooner. And this thing was $300. :)
