My current recommendation for Free/Cheap open source firewalls is Endian Firewall (Community Edition) 2.3. It's quite capable out of the box, and I won't list all the features here... but I will link to their page: http://www.endian.com/en/community/feature-comparison/ We used to use ClarkConnect, but I feel like the transition to ClearOS needs a major version number for them to clean up the project. But since finding Endian, I'm very unlikely to move back... I like it. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Matt Plahtinsky [mailto:[email protected]] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Mon, 22 Mar 2010 11:28:02 -0700 Subject: Firewall Question (Different than Johnathan's question but similar.
