Hi,
I regularly administer some FreeBSD servers, and more recently (as specified
in another email) I will be required to implement several firewalls.
>From what I 'hear' everyone seems to go the hardware based firewall route -
with Cisco having the most well respected name (at least for marketing
purposes).
I like BSD, I have been very impressed with the stability and security of
the system. We don't generally see NT boxes on our network with >100 days
uptime, but this seems to be quite common with BSD. I would be interested in
looking into using FreeBSD with IPFW for our firewalls - but I am interested
in your opinions.
What are the advantages of using IPFW over say Cisco's products? What are
the disadvantages?
What experiences have you had of using either?
Are there any comparisons on the net?
Many Thanks
-Rob
