Is the FreeBSD firewall more secure than using Black Ice. This might seem like an apples and oranges question except I just got a cable modem, which is currently connected to a win2k box. I've been using Black Ice's Network ice as a firewall but am not confident that its working because I received some intrusions yesterday and now some files seem to be disappearing. I already have a copy of FreeBSD installed on one of the computers in my office, which I intended to set up as a firewall/gateway. Being far too busy, I opted for Black Ice as it seemed to provide a quick and easy solution. As a result of those intrusions I'm feeling the need for as robust a barrier between my network and the internet as possible. Will FreeBSD help me accomplish my goal?
