I do that too, with the 'IPFire' specialized Linux distro.

IPFire originates from what i use ;)

Ahhh, cool. That one doesn't seem to get updated very often,
and I like the feature set of IPFire better, too. I also used
Smoothwall for a while many years ago... ;-)

i was actually speaking of SWE since it is the original for both IPCop and IPFire...

if you participated in the SWE forums, you definitely know who i am... at least
by my other/sysop handle, anyway ;)

I wasn't active in the forums that I can remember. I think I only
used SW for a short while, maybe when they were about to
split/fork into SWE, and/or when the IPCop fork took off too. The
timing is a little hazy now...

Just took a quick look and it seems that one (SWE) is not being
updated very well, either... 5+ years is a long time.

Take a look at IPFire! :-)

i knw the feeling...

there's only like three of four of us left these days... one man does the brunt
of the work updating and building the releases... the rest of us test a little bit and at least one has been working on getting it to compile and boot on an rPI or similar
device...

i agree the interface need an uplift but it works... most of the updates these days are bringing it up to more recent kernels but then some of the existing features also need twiddling to get working... i understand there's also some work being done
where you could install it like an overlay on a default debian-style linux instead of it being its own flavor of linux... i think devuan is one of the targets... i don't think i want systemd anywhere near my perimeter interface device ;)
