Looking for freebsd/openbsd Open Source project for multi-WAN load-sharing/failover firewall/internet gateway
I am looking for any open source project that can help me build manage, preferably through a GUI, a multi WAN firewall gateway to the internet, with DMZ, load-sharing, traffic bifurcation on priority/port and auto-ISP failover on any WAN link with IDS/IPS, NAT VPN features. I am not necessarily looking for a firewall distro...but various components that come together (on a minimal OS install) to build a GUI based firewall internet gateway appliance, having the multiple WAN capability. I basically want a minimalist design, which is open source, free and offers the above features. Some examples are the IPcop, m0n0wall (plus multiple WAN links) Sonicwall, Watchguard, Fortigate etc., minus their additional applications like mail anti-virus, mail servers, web-servers (except for whatever is minimal need for GUI) etc. Hope someone can suggest a good solution.
