Hello, It certainly isn't a replacement for pfSense, but untangle [http://www.untangle.com/] is pretty useful. I'm running for some clients in bridging mode between pfSense and their internal network. It has much of the same functionality Barracuda boxes tout. It emails reports on usage, and has an interesting Java UI.
Good luck! -Adrian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rainer Duffner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 10:27:16 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [pfSense-discussion] Website filtering with pfSense on alix Gary Buckmaster schrieb: > Mark Dueck wrote: >> Hi everyone, >> >> Is it possible to do website filtering on an Alix board?
