Hi all,

Im getting ready to setup a firewall since my old compaq acer 233 died. I was using linux with a bunch of iptables rules, but since that machine died its time for a better solution. LEAF and monowall both seem like a good way to go, but im curious if anyone here has had any experience w/ either or both and can clue me in as to which is better in there own opinion. Or maybe someone knows of another solution that they can suggest. Im just basically gonna build a real basic system. P2 500 or maybe an athlon 900, im not really sure yet. Im looking for good performance and better than average logs/features. Thanks in advance to all for your input. Peace
 

One solution that I tested out was using Astaro Security Linux. I was able to get the home user licence which permitted most of the option in the program. The distro had a nice webinterface and a lot of customization that can be utilzed for your needs.

Unfortunately, I was not able to implement put my ASL box on my Home network. So, my experience only goes as far as settnig up som eof the firewall rules for permitting inbound and outbound traffic, and congifuring the Intrusion detection.

I have not had teh chance to test Smoothwall, or Monowall yet.

Will soon when i have free time.

good luck
