It is designed with a user-friendly interface, offering outstanding performance in various settings and flexibility that accommodates a diverse user base. Focusing on security as its primary goal, IPFire is built to protect against online threats while also ensuring that your network is shielded from potential breaches. The firewall features a powerful engine along with an integrated intrusion prevention system, both of which collaborate effectively to defend your network against cyber attacks and denial-of-service incidents.

    Summary

    The feel is professional, performance is great and it has quite a lot of features. From the community forums and wiki docs you can find answers and examples to all common questions.

    Positive

    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 :)

    Negative

    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.
