I was looking for a firewall for a Debian box used as a workstation with one network interface. I found a choice of 16 at https://wiki.debian.org/Firewalls , but after some time looking at Shorewall I realized that the familiar SuSEfirewall2 would be much simpler and easier to set up. As an added bonus, SuSEfirewall2 offers easy to use hooks to add custom functions, for example to use ipsets.
I used SuSEfirewall2 for years, but found it wouldn't work with DHCPv6-PD, which I needed to get IPv6 from my ISP, though it did work well when I used a 6in4 tunnel for IPv6. I switched to pfSense almost 2 years ago and find it works well. I run it on an old computer that I previously used with the SuSE firewall. PfSense is a much better, more flexible firewall. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
