[Bglug] Next Meeting What Open Source Firewall do you use and why

[LP]

I finally got pfsense up and running then updated it.
Now I have to learn how to use it, can I set it to spot attacks and log
them, not sure yet.
Can I "Drop" Prauge ?
There does NOT seem to be a default GUI its all terminal.
Maybe someone on the list who uses it can give a short tutorial on what it
can do.

Time for me to start digging.
I decided not to install my windows game machine until I had pfsense at
least running.
Now I have a working HDD I can Git Er Done !
Thanks
LP
