The main problem with using a firewall to perform other services is that vulnerabilities in those services can have disastrous effects, typically much graver ones than if merely a server is compromised.

Hi, Just to clarify what I think about Security. Is there some security feature, if we ran a firewall on the same server, which is running other services like HTTP, .. Personally, I'd suggest to get a firewall running on a specific server, and all other services on other systems. Regardless SPOF, of course. Thanks for any advice. Pascal Miquet

Two questions: Is it possible to use more than one IPSEC device? E.g. FW_DEV_IPSEC="ipsec0 ipsec1" and: Can I use more than one remote network? E.g. FW_IPSEC_REMOTENET="192.168.3.0/24 192.168.4.0/24" Robert
