Re: GPLed Firewall Toolbox (fwd)



> Subject: GPLed Firewall Toolbox
 
 Hello,

 There is no GPLed, but is completely FREE, toolbox
named Harvest. It consists of firewall, HTTP cache, FTP cache,
WAIS cache, proxies for all above, search engine, 
DNS cache/sec. server, Broker... plus ability to connect
additional custom modules. It outperforms ALL commercial 
systems by factor 3. Beside this, it has an ability to create
parent-neighbor relationships to others Harvest/non Harvest proxy
systems, thus allowing creation of distributed local/global 
proxy/cache/firewalling organization. It is featured by many
security and fine-tuning tools. Complete setup takes less than one
hour(without fine-tuning, ofcourse). 
It is very mature(more than 3 years), university based development.
It works for me already 6 months and i still enjoy it. 
I have more than 4 GBytes of cache, distributed over 3 disks and 
connected to other proxies.
In one word: it is EXCELLENT system!
