Thanks Douglas, I had not heard of IPCop is some time. I see that the latest verion is 0.1.1, so I guess it is still in development. Have a look at GuardDog http://www.simonzone.com/software/guarddog/ and see what you think.
I assume you are having no troubles with IPCop, I must try it. Anyway that is way off my question to everyone, so here it is These freeware firewalls are proving more and more successful and powerful, but, as with IPCop and GuardDog they are still very much under development. How many of you would be happy to use these and other freeware security products in the enterprise. This would even be after you have fully tested them to YOUR satisfaction. I would be very interested in all your feedback, thanks.
