SmoothWall Express is an open source firewall distribution based on the GNU/Linux operating system.
Linux is the ideal choice for security systems; it is well proven, secure, highly configurable and freely††† available as open source code.
SmoothWall includes a hardened subset of the GNU/Linux operating system, so there is no separate OS to install. Designed for ease of use,
SmoothWall is configured via a web-based GUI, and requires absolutely no knowledge of Linux to install or use.
††† Free as in beer, libre, freedom. There is a lengthier explanation of "free software" on the GNU website »
