Smoothwall is a firewall 'appliance' that uses a dedicated computer (
or VM )
After the popularity of the recent Virtualization round-table at Plug
North, perhaps
the topic of Linux security appliances would be of interest. Most of
these appliances
run Linux, but the user interface is a Web GUI that requires little or
no Linux knowledge.
Is there interest in a Security appliance round-table ?
I don't use Smoothwall, but Endian Community security appliance which
is not
only a 4 zone firewall, but intrusion protection, OpenVPN server, DHCP
and DNS
server, DansGuardian Filter, and other things. ( Open-source, with
optional paid
support and/or hardware )
I have also been experimenting with Vyatta open-source router ( it is
also a firewall,
DNS and DHCP server ) This is more appropriate for large corporate
deployments
as it supports BGP, and unlimited firewall zones. ( Open Source, with
optional paid
support and/or hardware )
Yes you can do this with just Linux, but there are some business cases
where the
client/user needs to have GUI and/or paid support and some form of appliance
solution is really needed.
