  1. Re:Not to be confused with... by fataugie · · Score: 3, Informative · on Embedded Linux VPN Router Near Release

    That's all well and good, but LRP was shutdown after Diesel Dave decided to call it quits. It was news on slashdot a few months ago (too lazy to link to it).

    LEAF is the successor (LEAF).

    ...and it was actually my greatest hesitation to updating the site instead of just dropping it off the face of the earth.
    Have you considered that you can't "pull the plug" on something that you've open sourced and GPL'd? You may remove yourself from the LRP but now others may continue to develop/fork what was your project, such as LEAF. It was always everyone's project (being GPL'd) and is now everyone's except yours.

    Well, perhaps he just isn't as good a programmer as these guys. Or perhaps they made what he started a better thing.

    The LRP is dead, long live LEAF - The Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall, based on LRP, with extended Firewall features, and based on Linux 2.4 (i.e. with stateful packet filtering).

    Woohoo!

    Floppy use is the default option for Bering. It's not a requirement. LEAF releases/branches will use almost any boot media supported by Linux. The choice is yours.

  8. VPN Client by rizzo · · Score: 2 · on What's Keeping You On Windows?

    I use straight gentoo linux at work. At home however I'm on Windows 2000 because the MIS staff where I work is uses some Sidewinder firewall and they'll only support the Softnet VPN client. So I'm stuck on Windows for telecommuting. Of course the VPN works like crap anyway.

    I suggested that they use the LEAF Project firewall so I could use any number of open clients. Not mention that LEAF is free. My boss considered it, but then realized that our MIS staff is a bunch of jackanapes and that they needed to pay for support. I totally understood.

    So if anyone knows better than I how to connect to the Sidewinder firewall from linux, feel free to let me know.

    Also Medal of Honor and Battlefield 1942 keep me entertained.

  10. I use a floppy to boot my firewall (LEAF Bering) by jmarca · · Score: 1 · on Death to the 3.5" Floppy?

    I use a floppy-based LEAF Bering distro for my firewall on my DSL line at home. No hard drive on that old box since it died. The system boots from the floppy, which isn't mounted at run time, so I just press power or toggle the reset button to shut down/start up. If I ever get hacked, hey, a clean, fresh system is only a reboot away.

    I also use a floppy to boot slackware whenever I've downloaded the latest distro to a partition and want to try it out. I don't have a cdrom burner, so a floppy is the only way to go.
