SmoothWall GPL... "SmoothWall is a secure operating system that converts a redundant PC / workstation / fileserver / rackmount device into a firewall and VPN gateway, but goes way beyond that remit. First launched in July of 2000 and based on ideas and concepts that took in the best philosophies behind the installation and procurement of hardware security devices, we decided to really come up with a way for everyone from your IT director/SysAdmin down to the home user to have the same level of security regardless of budget. SmoothWall GPL is free, free as in libre. It is licensed under the GNU General Public Licence which means that yes we also give you our source. SmoothWall is webmanaged so no keyboard, monitor, or mouse on the device is needed. It supports Internal ISDN, all popular NICS, all popular connection types (Modem / ISDN / Cable / ADSL / USB ADSL / Ethernet) and also features a fully logging firewall, DHCP server, IPSEC VPN capabilities and much, much more."
