Gibraltar Firewall 2.6 (Default branch)

2008-07-17 09:22:49 by Editor in freshmeat.net announcements (Global)

Gibraltar is a Debian GNU/Linux-based router/firewall distribution, fully workable from a bootable, live CD-ROM. Log files can be stored on a hard disk, and configuration data is stored on a USB mass storage media or a floppy disk and kept on a RAM disk during run-time. Due to its Debian base, a vast manifold of firewalling, routing, and proxy packages is available. It comes with an intuitive, easy to use Web administration interface and support, and is free to use for home users.

License: Free To Use But Restricted

Changes:
Major new features in this release include official support for Snort as an intrusion detection system and full integration of the Puresight Enterprise variant for advanced user-based authorization and reporting. SSL Explorer plugins can now beinstalled. There were substantial improvements in traffic shaping performance, support for transparent virus scanning for HTTP, POP3, and FTP even without a hard disk, and the beginnings of full WLAN access point functionality.
