Looking for a Linux based/Open-Source Firewall OS that offers real time virus scanning, ad-blocking, IPS, IDS, and is Free.
I put this in this section, because I didn't see another more appropriate section. Thanks.
You should try PfSense
http://www.pfsense.org/
PfSense for sure. Im currently in the process of trying to get a jetway ITX mobo that has the 4 lan ports on it specifically for a PfSense build.
PfSense tend to recommend intel NIC's so when getting a board you get a choice if you then plug in a dual port (or more) NIC
PfSense is a system that is waaay more capable than I am in setting it all up and there are a whole bunch of plug ins to get the functionality you need if it is not already present.
pfSense isn't Linux based, FYI.
It's also what I would recommend.
PFSense for sure. You can also find enterprise DNS / DHCP servers on EBay pretty cheap. I bought a 1u DNS server and ended up installing PFSsense anyhow. Check out some of the Bluecat Networks and IP Control units.
It is Berk Unix, so close enough, open source nonetheless. It is a good one, and I like it, have not really found anything better for my uses.Quote:
