SmoothWall Express 3.0 Virtual Image

Network Security Software Appliance

Description

SmoothWall Express is a free GPL firewall distribution based on a security-hardened subset of the GNU/Linux operating system (2.6 Kernel). Express allows users to convert a spare computer into a dedicated ‘hardware’ or network firewall that sits at the gateway, providing an extra layer of protection and saving valuable system resources. Development, testing and maintenance is done on an active basis by a core team of programmers with indispensable assistance from an extensive user community.

Key features that differentiate Express;

* Compatible with wide range of hardware/systems - can be installed on anything from an ageing old PC in the garage to the latest 64 bit Intel Core2 Duo.

* Flexible & Easy to Use – user-friendly, easily customizable and navigable web interface, wide range of configuration options to suit different situations, quick install with ‘default safe’ mode.

* Multiple network zones – Client Local Network (Green), De- militarized Zone for hosting servers (Orange), Wireless Client (Purple) and External (Red).

* Comprehensive reporting & logging capabilities built-in Intrusion Detection System (IDS) logs intrusion attempts and firewall attacks using Snort & IPTables

Key NEW features & improvements in Version 3.0;

* POP3 Email antivirus proxy – email scanning with market-leading ClamAV

* ‘Purple’ network interface – keep wireless clients like laptops safely off the main network.

* Inline Proxy support for Instant Messaging (MSN, ICQ, Yahoo!, AOL) & VoIP with logging capabilities – monitor/record conversations & filter objectionable words & phrases.

* Universal Plug n Play Support (UPnP) - essential for getting your Xbox 360 and other games consoles online.

* Bandwidth Management – prioritize important traffic & speed up browsing with a new web-caching proxy.

* Real-time Graphs & per IP Traffic Stats – view & track web usage per user on an hour by hour, day by day or month by month basis. (great for people with download quotas)

* New, easier update system - Easy to use, single click update system for keeping your protection up to date.

* Outbound traffic blocking with time-based controls – restrict Internet access for different users at different times of the day

* Developer edition – tinkering without tears (for those who want it) with a ‘home brew’ extension system for user-created add-ons.

* Network time server – never set your computer clock again!
