Locally there is a company - GTA Associates - who build a firewall product. Fully NCSA certified. You can buy it in software only form - or you can buy a piece of hardware with three NIC cards - that has the software in what is essentially a ROM image. His application - The GnatBox - is BSD based. I've had a client who had a pair - one at his location - and one in our colo facility - so he could move data to/from his servers over a private network. Fully configureable. When I first met Paul Emerson, the owner, almost all of his clients were overseas as the need for security wasn't being addressed as strongly in the US at that time. That being said any firewall depends on how well you configure or mis-configure it. http://www.gta.com I have no interest in this product other than that I know the people involved and they make a good product.
