Re: [Security Firewall] Florins Firewall

As long as the goal of what MNF is supposed to be doesn't change, I'm 
all for it. I have always felt that the objective of the MNF project was 
to produce an enterprise level firewall using strictly Open Source 
technologies. There are literally hundreds of Open Source firewalls 
designed for small or home networks. However, once you get into some of 
the more detailed rulesets and filters required to handle something on a 
much larger scale, I've found that few (if any) compare to MNF's 
capabilities combined with its ease of administration. I've always liked 
the fact that I could pass on basic firewall rule changes to a junior 
tech with no Linux experience (but not to an MCSE, of course).... :)
