“Version 0.9.8 of SmoothWall – Britain’s most successful
Open Source project to date, has been released. The latest version
of the acclaimed security device software attacks the traditional
marketplace of the SoHO and SME security marketplace at a price
that gives it a major advantage – it is available for free download
under the GNU General Public Licence.“
“SmoothWall already has over 300,000 users in 21 countries and
has become a phenomenon that is taking PC networks by storm.
SmoothWall allows PC users in home, SoHO and office environments to
build a web managed, secure internet router that provides a totally
secured network internet connection. SmoothWall 0.9.8 includes
features only normally seen in router hardware products and
software firewall packages that can cost up to several thousand
pounds.”
“SmoothWall 0.9.8 adds to the four previously released versions
of the product by including automatic probing and set-up for
popular ISDN devices, multiple Ethernet devices (also allowing the
router to be used for website hosting, and other situations where a
demilitarised zone is required), IPSEC Virtual Private Network
(VPN) capabilities, and support for ADSL and Cable users.”
