[ILUG] Looking for firewall distro

[Niall Donegan]

I've been using ipcop ( http://www.ipcop.org ) for a few years now with no
problems. It provides everything from VPNs to Transparent proxys to
Snort Intrusion Detection. It is possible to admin it remotely although
it's not set by default.

There are plenty of other options out there for example smoothwall.
