m0n0wall Virtual Firewall - beta series
*Most popular Firewall appliance* All-in-one firewall package
Features
m0n0wall is a project aimed at creating a complete, embedded firewall software package that, when used together with an embedded PC, provides all the important features of commercial firewall boxes (including ease of use) at a fraction of the price (free software).
m0n0wall is based on a bare-bones version of FreeBSD, along with a web server, PHP and a few other utilities. The entire system configuration is stored in one single XML text file to keep things transparent.
m0n0wall is probably the first UNIX system that has its boot-time configuration done with PHP, rather than the usual shell scripts, and that has the entire system configuration stored in XML format.
This specific VMware appliance version and is preconfigured to run on a server with two NICs, offering complete firewall protection to the inner lan. Additionally, it offers a DMZ zone for virtual web- or other servers. Optionally, this DMZ zone can be connected to a physical NIC to allow physical DMZ connections too.
Since there's been an update of the original monowall, mono-vm has been updated too.
