The_ZoRo Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 HelloI would like to hear your oppenions about the following firewalls:Smoothwall, Censornet, IPCop and m0n0wall/ZoRo
knight_dkn Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Of those four I'd say smoothwall is the best, it's secure, well built and has lots of add on modules. As for IPCop, well... you'd have a harder time getting into a packet of chips. In general remeber that their all based around a linux kernel so if you want to stay secure, update, update, update! One other solution is FREESCO, it's a small open source router / firewall that is lots of fun and very felxable. It's not up there with the big boys, but it's not bloated with junk either which makes it easier to secure, very effective in the right hands.
