I've used Smoothwall and it's always been a good solution. Of course it depends what you need to accomplish. Another group of Open Source firewalls that I like are BSD based: PF-Sense: http://www.pfsense.com/ M0n0wall: http://m0n0.ch/wall/ Nice solutions for specific needs. jmb -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of theog Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 8:17 AM To: 'Habs Fan'; security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Comparing Open Source Firewalls I think you should add some more information which will help the good people of the SF mailing lists in their answers, such as where do you intend to install it (business\home) what is your expected traffic? Will you be hosting any services? Do you have any hardware limitations? Etc.... These are very important questions which must be answered prior to choosing such an important security component.

I would like to read your opinions on 3 open source firewalls. I know they are all from the same source base, but over the years the code has been altered in all 3 of these firewalls. 1. Smoothwall 2. IPCop 3. Endian Firewall If you could explain any experience and or comments in regards to these firewalls. I would like to install one of them for a SOHO environment. Are these firewalls secure and robust enough for todays Internet threats? Thanks for your help.
