"The SuSE Linux Firewall was designed as an application level gateway and combines the high security standards of a hardware solution with the flexibility of a software firewall. As the central component of an intelligent overall IT security policy, the SuSE Linux Firewall on CD checks, monitors, analyses, and logs ongoing data transfer, thereby providing a maximum level of security."
