This release includes many features that were viously available only
to users of the Enterprise version as well as some completely new
features. These new EFW Community features are:
** Backups
Backups can now be stored to and recovered from attached USB mass
storage devices. It is also possible to schedule automatic backups and
to send encrypted backups via email.
** Dashboard
The main page has been replaced by a dashboard with statistics about the
system and its services as well as live-graphs for incoming and outgoing
traffic.
** Email notifications
Emails can be sent automatically for defined events.
** HTTP proxy time based access control
With the new interface it is possible to add time based access control
lists for the HTTP proxy.
** HTTP proxy with user- and group-based content filtering
The HTTP proxy now has a new and polished web interface that adds the
possibility to create group based content filters.
** Intrusion Prevention
Snort rules can now be configured. It is possible to drop packets as
well as to log intrusion attempts.
** Policy routing
Routing rules can be created based on the interface, MAC address,
protocol or port of a packet.
** Port forwarding rewrite
In version 2.3 it is possible to add port-forwards from any zone (only
from the RED zone viously). Port forwarding without NAT is now also
supported.
** Quality of Service
Traffic Shaping has been replaced by a fully configurable Quality of
Service module. QoS devices, classes and rules can be defined.
** SNMP support
Basic SNMP support has been added.
** SMTP proxy web interface rewrite
The web interface of the SMTP proxy has been rewritten with focus on
usability.
** VLAN support (IEEE 802.1Q trunking)
It is now possible to create VLANs on every interface. The VLAN
interfaces can be used to distinguish connections in the same zone.
