jmac Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 I know that the Smooth Wall - Smoothie :) solution was a segment on episode 2x08, but I was wondering if anyone here knows if Smooth Wall is better than the IP-Cop firewall - which is the firewall my network is behind at the moment. Thx in advance, -Jmac^Attack Quote
911alertme Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 I have asked myself the same question. I looked around the internet and found that most people liked smoothwall over IPCop or monowall. I have not used any of them so I have no opinion on them. Quote
Sparda Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 OpenBSD's Packet Filter is the 'absolute' best, it's not very user friendly. Quote
metatron Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 OpenBSD's Packet Filter is the 'absolute' best, it's not very user friendly. Indeed. Anyone that uses the Linux kernel on a firewall is always going to have security issues, although you kind of have to know what your doing to use those security issues most of the time. OpenBSD has had very few vulnerabilities in the last 10 years so it can be trusted to a point. FreeBSD based firewalls are okay but i wouldn't trust them like OpenBSD. Quote
