L I N U X ..... ;-) I have a firewall running on an old Pentium I using a Linux Distribution called "Coyote Linux" which is sadly no longer supported by the originator but control has passed to another set of FOSS people in South America. Although the learning curve is steep - this is a raw implementation of the Linux NETFILTER/IPTABLES kernel features - the reward is a real firewall totally under your control.

I tried to judge it AFTER reading it but I couldn't find it. I have offered to post it however, and the offer stands. Lighten up buddy. I am not casting aspersions on your document, or your abilities. You sound to me like you know what you are doing. And I am willing, on further consideration, to suspend my disbelief re whether a dedicated PC firewall could be as easy as you make it sound. If it is in fact that easy, I want one. I think I said that somewhere in this exchange. But it does have to just sit in the corner humming and not bother me. No OS updates and stuff. John W.
