Somehow this combination of php and xml makes me shudder. I don't mind
php, but I sure don't like XML in this case.
Try the m0n0wall derived firewall, pfSense. It makes this php/XML
combination look pretty good, not to mention BSD/pf. Traffic shaping,
realtime usage graphs, miniUPNPD, SNMP, 4 types of VPN. The
aforementioned features can be setup in under an hour. I'm not even
scratching the surface of what it can do.
