I had a good experience in recently deploying the IPCop firewall. ICop is dedicated linux distribution; a fork of the smoothwall project. It has a slick user interface (httpd), supporting VPN, proxy server, wireless LAN, ssh, and more, lots of add-ons, great support community, and the power of iptables underneath the UI. IPCop supports four interfaces - inside, outside, dmz & wireless. Basic to medium complexity firewall rules can be implemented through the UI. Complex rules through the iptables command line. Caveat: while Iptables itself requires very little processing power, the httpd UI requires a recent machine for reasonable html rendering www.ipcop.org Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device -----Original Message----- From: Wilson <securitynewsgroup () gmail com> Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2009 11:19:53 To: <security-basics () securityfocus com> Subject: RE: firewalls I haven't used it for a while, but try IPCOP - http://www.ipcop.org/ Wilson -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Damian Sent: Sunday, 11 January 2009 11:54 AM To: Sec-Basics Subject: firewalls So I need some advice on firewall security. I use ubuntu servers at work and am very comfortable with debian. At work we have a cisco piz firewall....however another smaller company we help doesn't have the budget or staff for a pix firewall. I was considering using a distro like redwall or smoothwall and was wondering if anyone had any experience with dedicated distros like these. Also do these distros offer better security then larger installations? Message protected by MailControl: e-mail anti-virus, anti-spam and content filtering. http://www.mailcontrol.com
