There are lots of superior open source solutions for spam and virus
filtering at the firewall level. The same is true for doing virus filtering
of http traffic. Content Filtering (ie: URL filtering) has several really
good options as well.
What do you suggest?
My personal opinion is that we encourage people who
have a solution that they like, to put together a package for pfsense.
What open source packages does the list use?
I, personally, don't see any reason why several different solution
packages couldn't co-exist in the packages tree and let people choose
the one that
works best for their site. I personally may not want to use HAVP, but I
know lots of people who like it.
What do you use instead of HAVP?
SquidGuard works great for my purposes,
but lots of people like Dansguardian. Having choices is always preferable.
Agreed.
As for Dansguardian, I know that the author is working directly for
Smoothwall Ltd. selling essentially a competing product to pfSense.
He is a director as I understand it who gave away or sold off the
blacklist url business.
I would
be curious to see if the $500 license would be adequate.
I wonder what sort of deal Fprot would offer?

Last I checked Dans Guardian was 500$ for a commercial license. If
it comes down to it, the community can always pitch in and buy a
license. I've spoken with someone from Dans Guardian in the past and
they seemed very willing to help out.

I know that most of the business proponents seem to be interested in
copfilter for the virus and spam filtering. IPCop is
the only distro to offer this as an Open source solution. Albeit an addon
which breaks every time IPCop is upgraded. The
copfilter download page states it has had 3309 downloads in four weeks.
