Hello all,

Regarding this topic I think open source firewalls still lack some
capabilities in terms of manageability, that their commercial
counterparts resolve just fine.

Correct me if I am wrong, but for example in IPCop it is difficult to
control what traffic goes out to the exterior, for example to prevent
users from using IM or ftp. There is graphical ruleset editor to do
that, you have to manually edit files to do that.

Another point would be log browsing. It is difficult to use filtering,
sort entries, etc.

Regards.
