Astaro introduces an Essential Firewall Edition of the Astaro Security Gateway software firewall solution, which helps smaller businesses to secure their network, without having to pay lots of money.
As far as the news bulletin describes, the Essential version includes the normal networking stuff, including QoS, DNS Proxy, Statefull Packet Inspection, DHCP Server & Relay, and PPTP/L2TP vpn connectivity.
The software is available as an installation iso image, and a VMWare package.
The last one I will test this evening or tomorrow, so I can give you a detailed overview of the possibilities etc…
