Hi all
I need some help on deciding which firewall I should use to secure my
intranet from the internet.
I cannot decide which way to go , IPF or IPFW !
Which one is recommended , easiest to configure and support.
Can anyone please point me to some information explaining the difference
between IPFW and IPFW2.
A document on IPFW vs IPF would also help.
Thanks
Conrad
