IPCop Firewall is a well known Opensource Linux distribution built to protect Home and SOHO networks from hackers and potential intruders on the Internet. IPCop can run a old PC and can be installed and be operational within minutes.

Involves downloading the ISO image and burn it to a CD and start the hardware with the installation media and follow the onscreen instructions. A detailed installation instruction is here.

The IPCop firewall runs on Linux Kernel 2.4 and is a stateful firewall (1.3 and later) based on Linux IPTables. The IPCop firewall has a nice web interface from where almost all the configurations can be done.

• SSH using OpenSSH
