Security is the highest priority in IPFire. It is hardened to protect itself from attacks from the Internet and prevents attacks on your network. Its powerful firewall engine and intrusion prevention system protect your network against attacks from the Internet and denial-of-service attacks. IPFire is free software developed by an open community and trusted by hundreds of thousands of users from all around the world. The primary objective of IPFire is security. It's easy to configure a firewall engine and an intrusion prevention system stops any attackers from breaking into your network. In the default configuration, the network is split into various zones with different security policies such as a LAN and DMZ to manage risks inside the network and have a custom configuration for specific needs.

About

Detect threats, block viruses and secure VPN with the firewall built for SMB. Configure your firewall with easy-to-use traffic rules, controlling in- and outbound communications by URL, application, traffic type and more. Intrusion detection and prevention using the Snort system constantly monitors inbound and outbound network communications for suspicious activity. Log or block the communications depending on the severity. Prevent viruses, worms, Trojans and spyware from entering your network. Kerio Control goes beyond just checking files for malicious code; it scans your network traffic for potential attacks. Create secure, high-performance server-to-server connections between your offices running Kerio Control with an easy-to-setup VPN technology. Or, you can create a secure VPN connection to a remote office that doesn’t have Kerio Control deployed, using industry-standard VPN protocols.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's simple, fast and rock solid. I'm old school admin so I like that green-blue-orange-red ideology. Of course price/quality ratio is superior :)
  • Can't get any simpler than that. The entire platform designed for safety. And if a particular feature is not present, just look for it among the available addons.

Cons

  • Its one of a kind so there is a learning curve that you must walk trough before you can really use it. WebUI isn't always so practical and sometimes menu stops responding to mouse but that can be passed simply reloading the page.
  • Nothing negative, everything perfect from the assistance system provided by the very present and active community.
