IPCop vs WatchGuard® Firebox® X500 open original image

Hi,



I've just installed IPCop on a computer. It was pretty easy and straightforward!



Now I'd like to know if IPCop is cabable of doing most what an advanced firewall can do. Let's say the WatchGuard® Firebox® X500.



Among the most advanced things the Firebox can do are (IMHO):



-Deep Application Inspection



-Intrusion Prevention



-Gateway Antivirus



-Web content filtering



-Spam control



Any ideas?

, that nice!

Is there a way that IPCop can provide application level security?

Is there a way IPCop can detect some trojans or other malware that are working from the inside (the green network) and access the outside world (red network)?

X-No-Archive: Yes

No, that's what you use Zone Alarm and similar for.

You should ask ipcop related questions in the ipcop support forum at
