IPCop 2.1.4

[BouncyNinja]

Hi All,

question

i just installed IPCop 2.1.4 at our office, and tried installing SARG for reports to monitor users, but i cant seem to find a version to work . Can anyone else recommend something that would do the job?

Try IPfire its based on IPcop, I havnt used ipcop yet but on IP fire everythiing works wihtout hassle. Also you can try Endian Firewall.

Try PFSense.

I'd recommend then running Squid + QLProxy (aka Diladele Web Security).

A nice writeup here:

+1. I tried all these firewall distros before deciding on pfSense. IPcop was the worst of the lot!

I was preferred smoothwall to ipcop but its been a while since I used one, I do my own custom ubuntu server setup now.

I would prefer pf > iptables.

Just did a bit a of reading and it looks like nftables made in into linux 3.13 kernel, don't recall hearing any news about it.

Have a look at this

IPcop had it's days with 1.4x branch with relative decent add-ons.
SmoothWall 3.1 is still in dev_mode to be released soon.
pfSense is solid with, ample configs. you can apply, routing, aliases, .. too many to name - the core pf_filter is ported from the OpenBSD core.

OpenBSD is still my pref. of choice as front-end or back-end with a decent Cisco device/router for S_NAT/D_NAT 1:1 etc...

1 product to mention is Kerio Control, excellent product, but comes at a hefty price with licenses etc...

All boils down to personal prefs' I guess

thanks for all the suggestions, downloading pfsense , and ipfire. The one thing i have found with the ones i have tried so far ( smoothwall and ipcop) is https filtering is not to good, ie

i want to block facebook for all users except those whose ip addresses are excluded from url filtering, and, as long as you go to http://www.facebook.com , it blocks, but as soon as its https://www.facebook.com it works just fine

Force the users to connect to a proxy. This is what I do at our office - squid + squidguard + AD authentication.
