Re: The closing of IPCop.

Jack and all the "crew",

Thank you for THE best firewall I've ever used. Hated the announcement that this all was going to end.
First started using IPCop around 2003 after running Windows 2000 Server. Meanwhile tried PfSense, Smoothwall, m0n0wall, and some others. But always came back to IPCop.
None of them were as good and/or light enough to run on older or "limited" hardware.
It has been running on all sorts of hardware: Pentium 133, Pentium 2 233, VIA C3 800 , VIA C7 1000, ALIX & APU

Take care and yet again THANK YOU to all of you.

This is reminder in a little over 1 month, IPCop.org is closed.  My last act will be to close the mailing lists, so others cannot use it spam us.

Again, thank you all for both using IPCop and supporting and guidance of others on this list.  Thank you again to the "crew" behind IPCop; developers, translators, corroinators and rest of us.  Also our spouses and love ones that let us enjoy ourselves while helping others.

Oct 1, IPCop will be closed.  Again, thank you for long run.  

Jack Beglinger.
