I-IPFire akuyona i-firewall ejwayelekile, njengezinye izinhlelo zalolu hlobo esisetshenziselwe zona. Kulokhu, kungukusatshalaliswa kwe-Linux okunikelwe le njongo, kukuvumela ukuthi uyifake kukhompyutha eshibhile ukuyisebenzisa ukuze usebenzise firewall enhle ukuvikela ikhaya lakho noma inkampani yakho ngendlela eshibhile nelula. Njengamanje, njengalokhu kubhalwa, inguqulo yakamuva etholakalayo ye-IPFire ingu-2.19 (I-Core Update 106). Uma ufuna ukubona eminye imininingwane noma imibhalo mayelana ne-distro noma landa inguqulo yakamuva etholakalayo, ungafinyelela ifayela le- iwebhusayithi esemthethweni yephrojekthi.
Kule nguqulo yakamuva ezinzile yohlelo lokusebenza kunezici ezithile ezintsha njenge- new I-Proxy DNS Engaziwa, Isidlulisi se-Dnsmasq DNS neseva ye-DHCP esetshenziswe kuzinguqulo zangaphambilini ze-IPFire kushintshiwe. Isinqumo sabathuthukisi senze ukuthi i-DNSSEC isebenze futhi inikwe amandla ngokuzenzakalela ku-distro njengale nguqulo yakamuva, ngokungeziwe kuzibuyekezo ezibalulekile, ukuthuthukiswa kokusebenza, ukusebenza okusha nokunye ukuthuthukiswa kokuphepha. Nakhu uMichael Tremer akhombisile.
Njengoba ungacabanga, konke okunye kwe- amaphakheji nawo abuyekeziwe kuzinguqulo ezintsha, kufaka phakathi i-kernel yakho. Amaphakheji abuyekeziwe afaka i-OpenSSL, iStrongSwan, i-GNU Make, i-Smartmontools, i-squid, iproute, i-GNU nano, i-Midnight Commander, i-Transmission, i-Monit, i-Asterisk, i-GNU Diffutils, i-Attr, i-DejaGnu, i-Expat, i-Flex, i-Gettext, i-Krb, i-Guardian, kanye neminye imitapo yolwazi kufakiwe, njll. Ukugxuma okufanelekile ukuze uqhubeke nokugcina ukuphepha, noma okungenani ukuthuthukise, ekugcineni lokho okuhloswe ngakho yile distro.
Lokhu akuyona into entsha, sesivele sikhulume ngayo kule bhulogi amanye amaphrojekthi afanayo Njenge-IPCop, i-Endian Firewall, i-fli4l, i-m0n0wall, i-OpenWall, i-pfSense, njll. Usuyazi vele ukuthi alukho uhlelo oluphephile oluyi-100%, kepha singalwenza luphephe kakhudlwana ngosizo lwalezi zinhlobo zamaphrojekthi nezinye izinhlelo. Iphutha elikhulu umsebenzisi angalenza ukucabanga ukuthi uhlelo lwabo luphephile ...
