I know that there is a proxy forum here, but it seems to be deserted. So I am coming here.
Has anyone ever used Smoothwall or Endian as for Firewall and Web Proxy? I am trying to convince my superiors that we need to implement a firewall/web proxy for our company. You'd think after being right about Inventory, SPAM Filtering, and automated backup procedures they would listen to me, but no such luck. Anyway, due to the fact that I have no budget I need to use a software based solution and it has to be free. I have pretty much narrowed it down to Smoothwall or Endian and I am looking for some input.
