IPCop Firewall is an open-source Linux distribution that turns a computer into a firewall appliance. Its web-interface makes it easy to manage network settings like port forwarding, intrusion detection systems (IDS), virtual private networking (VPN), and proxy servers. IPCop works with the netfilter framework of the Linux Kernel. The project was created by Sarah Harrison and has since been maintained by a community of developers.
