A while back i went looking for a free firewall to replace a dieing watchguard box. I noticed that there are a lot of free and very easy to use software firewalls out there. Boot an old box from a CD and bam instant firewall for free (if you had the hardware)
A few choices i came by.
The features i was looking for
The ability to have more then 1 External IP address (easily)
The ability to be a filtering bridge instead of a router
A nice GUI based rules/nat interface
some limited reporting
Frequent updates to features
FREE!!!!
-------------
After spending a ton of time looking at the options of the above firewalls (and a few others) i decided to stick with monowall. It has all the features i want, a very helpful community, and they update the package on a regular basis. It has been running strong for over 1 year with no problems.
