[cumbria_lug] Attn Firewall Gurus

[Malcolm Logan]

I'm experienced enough at checkpoint, but in a CP only environment. Need
to deploy some open source firewalls at some locations as I cant afford
to be buy anymore CP licences. So I'm looking for a free firewall that
will give me the same levels of functionality as CP and enable me to set
up a site to site VPN with the CP firewalls we already have.

Just discovered monowall which looks good as well.

Thanks for the Link Ian.

Checkpoint & Mimesweeper engineer here...

Checkpoint is a good (if ludicrously expensive) product with some _very 
_ quirky gotchas, IPCOP I've not had a great deal of experience with, 
isn't this just a GUI front end to IPtables?.

This is a well respected site for CP and other stuff...
