> IPCop is fine, despite Volker's prejudices.

Actually, I spent a lot of time investigating various firewall
softwares, and then decided to settle on ipcop, for various reasons.
While I was configuring it, I needed a couple of extra ackages. The
first one shat itself with a segfault, seen when ssh into the ipcop box,
the BUI screen just shows a lot of blank nothing. The second one had a
lot of user screen for not very much, and it would have been as fast to
work out the config file by hand with a text editor than clicking
around. Why have the thing then in the first place. Combined with some
questionable design choices, a general lack of features, and a pile of
bugs not inspiring confidence I changed my mind pretty quickly. pfsense
is infinitely more polished than ipcop.

You can call it prejudice, I'll stay with considered opinion :)

PS Happy to demonstrate both.
