Hello,
Can any one sujjest which versions and flavour of linux is best suitable for GATEWAY server or in which version and flavour of linux this gateway server is available, which is used for internet managment with MAC locking.

Thanks & regards

Are you looking for something that is a dedicated firewall/router/gateway, if so, then I think IPCop and smoothwall, a bit of googling should give you enough information to know if these would be suitable.

I've used SmoothWall Express, 2 & recently 3, for roughly the last 6 years. I think I should move to IPCop because it is all open source.

Here are their Wikipedia® pages: IPCop, SmoothWall;
and their home pages: IPCop, SmoothWall Express.

The IPCop Wikipedia® page has the nicer list of other dedicated FW/gateway/router distros.

The ipcop DMZ is broken the vpn sucks and a update has not been releced in a VERY long time. Google IPCop dmz voip

Your statements would carry more weight if they were more specific & included some facts ...
How? -- There are no bug reports containing 'dmx' here:

In what way? -- Again a specific complaint or an example. Is it a lack of OpenVPN support? Is it one of the 3 Open bugs that mention VPN?

I did, I even did it in Google Linux, I found no obvious problems in the 1st 20 or so results.

I was upset when I posted. No dhcp or local DNS service is provided for the DMZ. The QoS is not fit for VoIP. I have to create custom chains in ssh to prevent my VoIP traffic from being dropped. I have to set the system clock over ssh because the GUI tool for the clock is broken. I can not get the VPN server to work. The Clarkconnect VPN worked for me every time. The distro lacks most of the modern fetures you find on other firewall distros like Smooth wall Clarkconnect or Untangle. An update has not been released in a VERY long time and the distro still uses a obsolete 2.4x kernel.

Hello, Actually i am lookin for a Gateway server application in linux, actually this gatey server is a Proxy (Squid)using linux with some credentials like mac locking, and acts like a DNS. Can anyone sujject which linux version is having this type of application.

I just tried untangle very nice.
