SmoothWall Express Ready to Run Desktop Network Appliance

The Network appliance will bootup and run when you receive it, all you need to do is configure it for your network with your web browser!

SmoothWall Express is an open source firewall distribution based on the GNU/Linux operating system. Linux is the ideal choice for security systems; it is well proven, secure, highly configurable and freely available as open source code. SmoothWall includes a hardened subset of the GNU/Linux operating system, so there is no separate OS to install. Designed for ease of use, SmoothWall is configured via a web-based GUI, and requires absolutely no knowledge of Linux to install or use.

The SmoothWall network appliance features a DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) to allow you to run a webserver, mailserver and other public servers while providing robust attack prevention, stateful packet filtering, and ease of use. This valuable feature is only found on enterprise level Firewalls such as SonicWall and Cisco. Plus unlike these companies that nickel and dime you to death on user licenses, and require maintenance agreements for updates, this product has UNLIMITED users and upgrades are FREE!

SmoothWall has an installed base of over 12,000 worldwide, now its available for the first time in a pre-configured appliance...

Hardware Features:

The SmoothWall Network Firewall Appliance was designed to be robust and simple to run, with a variety of options to meet different requirements. For example, while this model comes with an internal laptop type hard drive, it can just as easily be run from a Compact Flash card or a Disk On Chip module if you don't want a hard drive to worry about. Both options are built in (see picture below - they are both under the hard drive)
