Title: Migrating from IPCop to Endian?
Post by: Skyflash on Monday 03 August 2009, 08:23:27 pm
Hi guys :)

i'm an IPCop user from many years, and i'm thinking migrate to Endian Community. My IPCop config is a little bit complicated, and i'm ag you if a can replicate it on EFW

1) I need two GREEN Zones. In IPCop i've added a new NIC and istalled the Gray Interfaces plugin. How can i do this in Endian?
2) I need 3-4 public IP's. In IPCop there's the "Alias IP" menu. I can't find anything similar in Endian :(
3) I need to block all the outgoing traffic by rules. In IPCop i have the BOT plugin. In Endian what can i use?
4) Content filtering: in IPCop i'm using Advanced Proxy + URL Filter plugins (and the little addon "Update Xcelerator, for caching Windows Updates). In Endian what else?

Thank you guys for your answers ;)

All the things you need are included in EFW.

I thought the gray-plugin is for using more than three internal zones. But not for building two green zones.

Thank you for the reply :)

Can you tell me, pls, how can i create two green zones? I tried adding a second green and assign the second subnet, but it seems EFW doesn't like it :)

I'm using 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24

You don't want to create a second green zone, but a blue if you want to separate them.

The blue is not good for me. If EFW works like IPCop, the green can communicate with the blue, but the blue doesn't communicate with the green.

I need two greens :(

You can't get two greens!
But you can manage the communication between the zones on the firewall-menu.
In IPCop the blue zone is used as WLAN zone but in EFW green, blue and orange have the same possibilities.
