GameFreak schrijft: "SmoothWall is een soort Freesco dat gebaseerd is op Linux. Het programma functioneert als router en heeft een firewall ingebouwd en is via de browser te configureren. De systeemeisen zijn niet hoog een 486 met 8 mb ram en 80 mb hardeschijf ruimte.
De download is een cd image die bootable is zodat er gelijk kan worden geïnstalleerd.
Er zijn ook verscheidene talen aanwezig waaronder ook het nederlands en dat maakt het voor de meesten wel erg eenvoudig om hem te beheren.":
Hieronder het changelog van 0.9.9
The highlights of enhancments over 0.9.8 are:
* Support for 14 languages, including: German, French, Afrikaans, Finnish,
Swedish and Italian.
* New, vastly improved, UI.
* Support for USB ADSL using Alcatel modems.
* Support for PPPoE.
* Dial on Demand for ISDN and modems. ISDN also features bandwidth on
demand, for automatic bringing up of the second channel when it is needed.
* PPTP passthrough for accessing Windows VPNs from the LAN.
* New Squid, high performance, web proxy.
* Keyboard/Timezone selectors.
* Better DMZ support. Servers on ORANGE are accessable from GREEN.
Pinholes can be setup to allow ORANGE to access GREEN in a restricted way,
for example, for use in webmail setups where mail server is on the local
network.
* Install updates via the web, even on remote smoothies, with an easy to
use update system.
* Access the web interface via HTTPS.
* External access configuration page: restrict access to local ports by
IP.
* Better portforwarding. Because incoming connections go through the
external access rules, you can restrict forwarded to ports to a range of
IPs. UDP portforwarding has been added.
* Web based VPN setup. Setup multiple VPN tunnels from the web. Export
configurations and re-import on other SmoothWalls to setup networks of
tunnels from a single desktop using just a browser.
* Better log management. Export logs. All log views are paginated so a
range of events is viewable at a time.
* Firewall log has the ability to look up IPs, both in the form of a
reverse DNS lookup and the RIPE info.
* IDS using snort. No setup required. Log viewer for viewing events.
* Dynamic DNS support for 5 popular dynamic DNS services.
* Everything else that I've forgotten
