Easy Set Up
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Oct 12, 2002The dfl-300 set up quickly, has ok logging and filtering features, and allows for vpn. You can assign its IP address, so it will work with any network you already have set up, unlike some of the other routers, which require the router to be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. I'm getting DSL set up at a second location an plan to use the VPN capability to make for a much cheaper connection that the phone company is charging for our WAN.

Hard to configure rules and policies
(1 out of 5) by Jamie Bass on Apr 4, 2005I am a very technically proficient person, and I find this device difficult to configure.
If you want this device for just a simple firewall to keep the bad guys out, it is fine. You can plug it in and it works out of the box. (Personally, I would rather buy a $39 router instead)
If you want to allow certain access to specific computers on the inside LAN, use something other than this device. It is difficult to figure out, and the tech support is weak on D-Link's site for this model.

Junk
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Dec 9, 2002 (Libertyville, IL USA)I have two of these units. The VPN has been a problem from day one. Both have lost policies on several occasions and both sporadically lock up. I plan on using them for paperweights.
Junk
(1 out of 5) by H. Edmondson on Jan 26, 2008 (West Palm Beach, FL)This vpn firewall is still on D-Link's website. A discontinued product. And good riddance, this is a piece of junk. Compared to DFL-200 and 700 the 300 is a joke. Do not even buy one used, you will regret the hassle. Trust me, I work with this stuff every day, all day, I allowed myself to be snookered on this one, you don't have to.
