IPCop is a Linux based firewall distribution.
It aims to provide a simple to manage firewall appliance based on PC hardware.
Originally a fork of the Smoothwall Linux firewall, the projects are developed independently, and now diverge significantly.
Recent releases of IPCop provide a statefull firewall built on the Linux netfilter framework.
IPCop is licensed under the GPL, and is developed, in traditional Open Source style, by a diverse development group spread across the Internet at large.
CD-ROM images for the installation CD are distributed via a network of mirrors.
Support websites are maintained in English, French, German and Dutch.
IPCop's user interface is available in 17 languages.
IPCop includes a simple, user managed, update mechanism to install security updates when required.
Development of IPcop continues. A significant new release, version 1.4.0, now based on the LFS distribution, was released in October 2004, offering an updated user interface and a number of additional language options.
