\"\"
\nI’d not heard of these guys until a month ago. They have appliances and also a software based version you can install on your own server. Best of all, they have a community edition<\/a>. I’ve downloaded a copy, but I’ve yet to actually test it. Here’s some of the features:<\/p>\n

  • Stateful Firewall – Pretty standard<\/li>\n
  • Intrusion Prevention – They have snort loaded in<\/li>\n
  • QoS\/Bandwidth Management – I’m curious how through this is<\/li>\n
  • DoS\/Port scan protection – I’m assuming at the click of a mouse<\/li>\n
  • Antivirus\/Antispam – I will assume clam and spam assassin<\/li>\n
  • Web content filtering – Group based, URL blacklisting<\/li>\n
  • Standard VPN options<\/li>\n
  • Policy Based Routing – Seems odd that they would include this advanced a feature, but nice \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n
  • Logging – Their logging seems to be pretty robust<\/li>\n
  • Management – Web based, SSH or serial<\/li>\n
  • Backups – You can schedule automatic backups of the system<\/li>\n

    Have you guys used this? I’ve yet to try it, but I do believe I will in the near future. I like the sound of their web filtering…heh.<\/p>\n

    *EDIT* I loaded it in a VM so I could poke around a little. It seems ok. It’s not quite as intuitive as I would have thought. Some of the features configure a little funky, but it IS a kludge of many disparate systems, so one can’t really complain…plus it’s free \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
