SmoothWall, the firewall for home users

SmoothWall Express is an open source firewall distribution based on the GNU/Linux operating system. Linux is the ideal choice for security systems; it is well proven, secure, highly configurable and freely available as open source code. SmoothWall includes a hardened subset of the GNU/Linux operating system, so there is no separate OS to install. Designed for ease of use, SmoothWall is configured via a web-based GUI, and requires absolutely no knowledge of Linux to install or use.

SmoothWall Express turns a PC into a dedicated hardware firewall, which sits between your private network and the Internet. It does not allow any unauthorised data to pass through the firewall. There are no services offered to the Internet and SmoothWall Express will not respond to the network messages that hackers use to identify potential targets. It is therefore quite simply invisible to the legions of script kiddies, hackers and crackers looking for an interesting firewall to attack.
