Given Linux (say RedHat 6.0 or greater) as a base, what options are available to build firewalls? Is there a "Linux firewalls" site somewhere? ipchains is an obvious place to start for basic packet filtering functionality, but I'd prefer something more substantial. I could use Apache or Squid (depending on circumstances) as a Web proxy, for instance. I don't think FWTK can be used in a commercial environment because of the license restrictions. Is there something similar out there that is otherwise usable? I realise this is a "how long is a piece of string?" type question, but there must be different packages, freeware, shareware, open source, commercial, etc suitable for different uses.
