Perfect for parents' network?FWIW, from my standpoint as a non-technical enthusiastic amateur, I can say that I set up an Ipcop box on an old PC over a year ago, pretty much default settings everywhere, and its been running ever since with no interference from me. I cant even remember the last time I rebooted. In fact, it was so easy i wondered if I had done it right, but everything on my home network is fine.
Yeah - no egress filtering... so anyone on your network can be going out without question. Might be okay for a home network... maybe.
