Can someone help me with the following. Not really familiar with  Access Control Lists.  
Is Access Control Lists only used in Cisco products and do I need to find a router that uses ACL?  
 
"I would suggest you provide a router / firewall so all internal traffic to the internet can be ACL’d and Natted to the WAN which will be the uplink you receive from US."

We are installing a  LAN that is connected to a WAN. The LAN only needs connection to the internet for remote access. 

 

Wasn't sure if the clients IT department would create the ACL to only allow a particular connection or we could have too in the LAN.

 

This is the firewall I was thinking https://www.zyxel.com/uk/en/products_services/ATP-Firewall-ZyWALL-ATP100/

Then any router with NAT will work here. You probably won't need advanced features, but really depends on your excat goals.

 

How much bandwidth do you need?

Most of it is just for  remote access for support.  Bandwidth doesn't need to be too big. 

Guessing  the Zyxel is a bit over kill

Yea basically any router with nat will work then. Even cheap home routers should be fine here. IDK ifyour remote access service needs port forwards, but most routers support that.

I think that one uses insight management, so its paid monthly. Just saying.

 

I don't know your exact requirements here so I can't guarantee it would work.

 

Id probably go with a netgate box, you get pfsense, and good hardware.

What ACLs would you create? Got any examples?

 

Basically any router, even the cheap consumer routers can do this.

 

Id probably hire a IT consultant here if you need remote access to your servers.

No idea what ACL, guessing standard (I don't have much knowledge) I just need to connect to my clients internet.  

We use Teamviewer to connect to our client system. 

Might want to do a bit more research before buying a unit then.

 

Teamviewer doesn't require any setup, so the default NAT settings will noramlly work.
