I am looking for a cost-effective firewall capable of handling three security domains (Internal Network, the Internet, and a DMZ) for a SOHO. A hardened linux box running NetFilter/IPtables with three network cards looks like a good fit. However, I would also welcome suggestions regarding low-budget hardware firewalls meeting these requirements. I believe that the now defunct Linux Router Project (http://www.linuxrouter.org/) has left some successors: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/ http://www.smoothwall.org/ http://www.devil-linux.org/
Other possibilities: Mandrake's Linux Multi-Network Firewall http://www.mandrakesoft.com/products/mnf Astaro Security Linux http://www.astaro.com/ However, worked with neither: this is an all-Pix shop moving to SidewinderG2 _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
