Flame retardant thermal ware in place. In the Dim Time, I used IPCop for a few years. When support for that faded, I opted for a hardware unit provided by a vendor I was a "partner" with. They discontinued that platform and will not support it in the future.
I'm facing pursuing upgrading with them or returning to the open source playground on either existing hardware or an APU1 or APU2 type box.
Suggestions? Pointers to current "best in class" information?
For openSUSE, I've been more than happy with firewalld that comes with the distro. For servers on Arch I just use plain IP-tables. There are tools that automate adding an removing entries from IP-tables like fail2ban, and other firewalls that use IP-tables like shorewall. All are quite effective, you just pay the entry fee by learning how to use the one of your choice and it will serve your needs. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
