attacking firewall-s
I believe that I have more firewalls than pc-s.
I have been starting test and use IPfire on Virtualbox:
It’s a good choise use and test firewalls on virtual enviroment. You are able to change the default route of the host network, and with tap interface make nat across the virtual enviroment or check connections on the other way.
User feeling of IPfire is funny. It isn’t the same feeling of the pfsense.
Pfsense is a network device. The gui is designed for it. The feeling is “Hey, it’s a netwok device, keep it in your mind “.
IPfire gui is scream about there is a linux based gui. Undeliberate menus and config opcions. Pfsense much more clear and It’s based on bsd.
I believe for firewall functions a bsd based system is better.
I don’t give up, there are some very good package and a lot of learning skill about linux system, but I will not change my pfsense router.
To test functions I want to set:
-proxy with content filter
-openvpn connections
-firewall
-torrent and file storeage functions
-snort based IDS
