Since my company is a non-profit organization, we don't want to sink $10-$20K into something. Is there any "free" firewall software out there that would run under FreeBSD or Linux? And if so, does the "you get what you pay for" factor weigh heavily with this free firewall? Also, can you point me towards any good references on UNIX-based firewalls? I'd like to learn more about this subject. Thanks in advance! Mike
