Pretty, very similar interface to CheckPoint FireWall-1, and nice that it
targets multiple firewall platforms (PIX, iptables, BSD ipf, IIRC), but
unstable as hell last time I looked. Save regularly. Also, the rules it
generates strike me as a bit over-complex and liable to let things in that
you don't mean to (and vice versa).
