Shorewall / IPCop ?
 
Hello,

I'm about to use a Linux firewall for protectnig my servers. My traffic currently is about 40 - 60 Mb/s. do you think, in your personal experiences / opinion, which one is better, shorewall / IPcop ?

What are the Pros / Cons ? or do you suggest any other already made firewall ?

Thank you.

Are you going to be using a dedicated machine for your firewall? If so, check out m0n0wall and Smoothwall also. I have no experience with Smoothwall, but I'm currently running a couple of m0n0wll boxes and it works well.

Shorewall sure is handy. Works fine for me. Beats the heck out of typing in iptables commands manually.

The box is dedicated for Firewall only. no other services will be run. and how much Mbps of bandwidth cam m0n0wall can handle ?
