    poll: which firewall distro you use?

    Hi all, folks i am curious about the firewall distro you use either at your work or at home. I will like to know about the following questions,
    - Are you running any type of proxies on it (squid, dns, pop, smtp and ftp proxy)?
    - Is this possible to port forward (from local to internet)?
    - Can you use your firewall as nat router?
    - Why you choose this distro instead of any other?
    - How much easily you can configure it?
    - Support for VPN?
    any other strong point which forced you to use the distro??

    If the distro you are using is not listed here you can mention it.

    Thanks

    Waiting to here some good points.

    Excuse me, is there an airport nearby large enough for a private jet to land?

    First off, www.webster.com

    U need 2 clean up ur akt. That is pathetic. You look like a skiddie wannabe who is too ignorant to make a clearly communicated request.

    Second...what do you mean by 'distro'? As in, distribution? As in, linux embedded distribution? These all look like open source, GPL'd types of firewall app's. I am not certain, but if I'm right that's not much of a definitive list. Where's the CISCO, Check Point, NetScreen, Juniper, and Sonic Wall firewalls? Are you asking for software firewalls only? Open source software firewalls only? Open source GPL and blessed by his holy grace ERS software firewalls only?

    Oh Bastille... (which isn't a firewall by the way, it is a suite of OS hardening/reporting tools)

    IPcop for me, but if you make your own, Catch is right on, bastille is a great set of scripts to point you in the right direction, then try firewall-builder on top and lock it down.
