HI,
Is this project alive? I would like to use this product. Can it support Ipsec VPN tunneling? Is there a way to install it on a Debian Lenny server?
Are there any security problems?
Thanks in advance.
 
Proxwall project is stopped.
 
again, Proxwall is stopped, there are no updates for years. so if you use it as firewall you will have a lot of security holes. btw, proxmox.net should be ignored, now redirects to proxmox.com - but looks direct links are still pointing to this outdated content.

we stopped proxwall due to several reasons, I recommend you go for a widely used and regular updated firewall distro.
 
There are several good firewall distributions out there. I have been using pfsense for a while, which is a fork of M0n0Wall with more features and based off of freeBSD. There is also a newer ipfire firewall based off of linux
 
Yes pfSense is nice and I've used it on several occasions - only that ProxWall has a nice and familiar ProxMox like interface.

Wondering about the Thai language content in Proxmox.net - a domain owned by Thai person - Chonpakorn Phongphisist, Your Connect Co Ltd. - and it's relation to proxmox. Do they do the PHP programming for ProxMox ? The domain appears created in 2005 - the time when the last proxwall files were released.
