A few months ago I say reportage in the TV about (I think someone from Canada) a guy that provide a hardware firewall
that is un-Hackable (What I personally not belive ). The guy says the firewall will be costs under 150 $.
Does anyone have some information about this firewall?
Or does anyone have a good experience with a hardware firewall?
no such thing as unhackable, if it's made by man, it can be cracked by man
try smoothwall for linux it's opensource so holes are plugged faster. works great for me, you just need to find a junker computer.

google smoothwall, I'm too lazy to
I agree!
I use IPCop on an old PIII 350. IPCop was derived from SmoothWall 0.9.9.
anything will do well... maybe not a 486 but just install smoothwall and seti and shove it in a corner
oh and make sure telnets working so you don't need to hook up a keyboard, mouse, monitor to change stuff. it just sits there with 2 cat5s and a power cable coming out of it, nothing else
on the "unhackable" idea...if a unit receives data it is exposed and sooner or later vulnerability will be found if someone is determined enough to hack it.
There are *almost* no bad BP6s. There are mostly bad caps.

It would be worth trying but I seriously doubt that the kernel in Smoothwall is set up for SMP. I personally use a Ppro 200MHz with 128 megs of memory. It can easily handle my capacity which is at 11 Mbit download and just about 8 Mbit upload.

i bid on a poorly worded ebay..."dual intel processors" auction. darn, i won. found out it was a dual 486s, and a UPS unit that would have cost $40 to ship. i paid the $6 and told the seller to through the UPS away. I am waiting for the board to arrive.
bty, it was previously used as a linux firewall.

you know something is wrong with shipping costs more than the product
It was one of those middle of the night, autions ends in 4 minutes things. shipping was "winner pays shipping" deals. It looked like someone that just didn't know what they had and no-one wanted to take the risk.
Geez, i didn't know they even made dual 486 boards.

Some guy wrote a firewall that runs on FreeBSD. Firewall is on a CD, preferences and passwords on a write-protected floppy. You download an ISO image, burn it to CD. Put it in a dual-homed or triple-homed ( 2 or 3 NICs ) computer, any Pentium > or = 100 Mhz.
No need for a hard drive, just a CD, floppy, NICs and mobo.
I'm nailing together a 1U server based on an Abit TS20, going to give it a try.
Where did you find your TS20? I am looking for one for a home for my celeron 566, it would be a nice upgrade for my smoothwall box (not that a p233mmx isn't enough for it as it is...)
Dual Barton Mobile 1.8ghz
Venice 3000+ @ 2.6ghz
lots of BP6s and two VP6s all apart currently
). The guy says the firewall will be costs under 150 $.
