Welcome
Welcome to SmoothWall Express and secure Internet connectivity.
SmoothWall Express is an open source firewall distribution based on the GNU/Linux operating
system. Designed for ease of use, SmoothWall Express is configured via a web-based GUI and
requires absolutely no knowledge of Linux to install or use.
SmoothWall Express enables you to easily build a firewall to securely connect a network of
computers to the Internet.
Almost any Pentium-class PC can be used, for example, an old low specification PC long
redundant as a user workstation or server. SmoothWall Express creates a dedicated hardware
firewall, offering the facilities and real security associated with hardware devices.
SmoothWall Express comes pre-configured to stop all incoming traffic that is not the result of an
outgoing request. The rules files that implement this policy are part of the system configuration
and should not normally be edited by other than the configuration procedure.
