[leaf-user] Goodbye LEAF,

Dear all, After having used for over 11 years LEAF as my most trustful barrier against the many attackers on the Internet time has come to say goodbye to this very useful piece of software and the necessary hardware I used for a stand-alone firewall. The reason is the hardware was noisy and ener

Since mid 2012 a very small system has appeared on the market under the name of the Raspberry PI. I have seen several applications already made for it. I was thinking if that is not an ideal system for LEAF. It comes with a Debian derived ubuntu-like OS, is based on an ARM processor (700 Mhz ARM

Hi, Finally I have decided to upgrade to version 3.1 as my 2.1-version (running since 2006 without any problems) can do with an upgrade. As I don't want to change before I'm sure the new version runs equally well (or better) as the old one, I want to try and tune it first in a virtual environmen

Hi, It's a long time since I called upon this list as Leaf is the most quiet system it runs on a stand system in my network and is so quiet you tend to forget it is there (until you look in the log!). As it is so unobtrusive, it is easy to forget, even when something threatens to go wrong (e.g.

I recently stuck on a simple small tool called knockd which can be used to get access to your firewall incidentally with a sequence of knocks to a few ports. A more secure version, cryptknock is also available. As I finally have decided to go over to the 3.1 version (I'm still using 2.4 without
