Linux Firewall Feedback Request on Astaro Firewall

[mrquinn]

I’m in the process of deciding on a linux-based firewall product for my company. My number one priority is that it is an all-in-one internet security software package that includes firewall, intrusion protection, virus protection, spam protection, VPN gateway, and content filtering.

I’ve been researching a product from Astaro and was hoping to get some feedback. Has anyone used their firewall before and have anything to share? Their website is http://astaro.com .

Thanks!

Try IPCOP.
It doesn't do virus or spam scans but it can do everything else.

Uses Snort so you will need to setup an account with them; its free.

Uses Dansguard for content filtering.

Its easy to setup, it uses a web interface.
