I am also new to this security, but I just installed ipcop. It is also free. The link is http://www.ipcop.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/IPCop/WebHome It is easy to configure, and you don't have all the extras running on the box. It is just a firewall. So far I like it. I am running it on an old Compaq workstation 400 Mhz with no issues. If anyone has more experience with ipcop or has other information, please chime in.

Hi I am putting together a network in a large house/dormitory. I am going to be running some internet apps. Is OpenBSD the best option to use for a firewall? Is there any purchaseable firewall software that I can buy that works well and will save time (I'm also not footing the bill for this, so price isn't as much of a factor)? McAfee Firewall seems so gumby, but I'm not sure about OpenBSD. Thanks for any help in advance. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethical Hacking at the InfoSec Institute. Mention this ad and get $545 off any course!
