Re: Need Linux Router

ipFire is a good choice. 

Usually gets higher ratings than pfSense and is a lot
easier to set up. You just need two network ports, 
preferably three or four. 

However, ipFire is a customized DISTRIBUTION. 
Ideally you run it on its own old PC and that's your
software-based router/firewall. 

Now if you are cheap cheap and want to run the
router on an existing distro, well ... there ARE a
few, but it's not really the best way to do things.
Any garage sale ought to have an old i3 PC you
can score for ten or twenty bucks. 

In theory you CAN run ipFire or pfSense on a
virtual machine - kvm or virtualbox - within an
existing distro.
