I made the switch to pfSense 2-3 years ago and haven't looked back. Use it to 
replace EFW, Cisco PIX/ASA, etc. every chance I get.

Enabling and disabling uplink from the web page did the trick. Thank you!

I have a customer that is interested in a security appliance, and I would
like to suggest an Endian product but their community version is so poorly
maintained and the software like clamAV is so outdated that I'm afraid to
recommend one. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Thanks.

My company deploys a lot of the Endian hardware-based versions.   They are
quite nice actually.  Tie in to Endian Network, updated software, updated
clamav specifically.  I don't recall what version, but they stay on top of
the commercial version in their appliances much more than they do with
their Community version.

Unfortunately for me, I love Endian, but I think at some point I'm going to
have to say enough is enough and move on to something else that is actually
maintained.

I love Endian too and have used it for many years. I have also had customers 
running happily on it for years. But the threats to security are increasing and 
I'm afraid of using an outdated product any longer.  



I've been trying a few of the firewalls listed on distrowatch.com, and the only 
one that has impressed me so far is pfsense. It's clamav is a little behind, 
(0.97.5) but I've read that the person responsible for maintaining that package 
does a good job of keeping it up to date, however other packages that interface 
with it have to be updated at the same time so it doesn?t happen too often. 
It's gui is surprisingly fast, and there are a large amount of 
packages/utilities to choose from. 



You install the packages individually, which saves resources. (but don?t switch 
away from the page until the install is complete!) It's openvpn settings are 
different from EFW, and I have not been able to make it connect to a remote EFW 
firewall as a client. I had to install openvpn on an Ubuntu server behind the 
efw firewall. But that has a few benefits like the ability to use a newer 
version of openvpn, control over its settings, and . 



It's nice to have a firewall with a choice of 32bit or 64bit, that has the 
ability to run well in a virtual machine, that is not abandoned, that uses a 
more mainstream OS for support reasons, that has packages that can be updated, 
that has a gui that is well tested, and that has more features I need.



IPFire came close, but I managed to create an openvpn entry that could not be 
deleted later, and there were other gui anomalies. Vyatta is strictly command 
line unless you pay a subscription, but I didn?t find this out until after I 
installed it and enabled the gui. And Untangle would not run in a kvm VM on my 
server for some reason. (maybe video related)



I think I've found a replacement in pfsense and have switched to it for a few 
days now. Good luck to all of you.
