I stumbled upon a "new" open source firewall product this evening. Ever heard of Fyrewall? Some information from the Freshmeat project page at http://freshmeat.net/projects/fyrewall/?branch_id=76300&release_id=287163 :
"Fyrewall is a firewall system based on FreeBSD. It is distributed for free on CD, with optional support plans available for purchase. It comes with an easy installation interface. It includes features such as full control via a Web interface, an aliasing system for easing management of firewall rules, failover clustering support via CARP, load balancing, integrated VPN support for many popular protocols, traffic and system statistics reporting, and a packaging system." It sounded quite similar to pfSense's offerings so I figured I'd check it out. Looking through screenshots and other resources on their site http://www.fyrewall.com.br/ , it appears that Fyrewall is nothing but a rebranded version of pfSense, probably from the 1.3 branch judging by the screenshots, and translated to Spanish. While pfSense is open source and of course permits this sort of 'offshoot' project, has anyone else heard/used/experienced/etc this "Fyrewall"? I'd never leave my beloved pfSense for something like this, but I'm purely curious... Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc.
