Hello, everyone! This is my first post here, at LQ.
I need a Linux based firewall/router/proxy to protect a small internet cafe with up to 60 seats. Specific ISO distributions managed via web-GUI interface are preferred to simplify deployment. Can someone help me choose the right one?
So far, I've heard good things about IPCop and Smoothwall. I like the set of features that Smoothwall offers, but it does comes at a price. Smoothwall Express is free but is very limited compared to its commercial cousin. IPCop does seem to be based on the same code base as Smoothwall and it's free. But its traffic management not as advanced as I want.
I've even used one, but can't remember it's name -- except that it surely wasn't either of the two you mentioned I'm a bit busy now, will get back to this later as soon as I remember the name, but meanwhile..try searching distrowatch.com.
