[General] VPN Platform release - an opensource project

[Burhan Khalid]

Or Astaro, which offer two products (both free), in addition to other
appliances and VMs:

The Home Firewall[1], which includes all this, but is limited to 50 nodes
(internal IP addresses):

  1. Multiple outbound connection support - connect two ISPs so if one goes
down, your Internet isn't affected.
  2. Web filtering, with realtime updates
  3. Virus filtering (dual scanning engines)
  4. Spam filtering
  5. Remote access (VPN) with iPhone support - PPTP and L2TP over IPSec
  6. GUI Interface

And the essential firewall[2] which has no limit on the number of nodes,
but doesn't include virus + spam filtering + dual ISP support.
