Even if it does not seem active, It is really alive, but I have to do it all by my own now since the other two developers left the team after a short time we started the project. There was a FL release avaliable in the beginning. But I didn't like it and I started all over again with an new and improved concept to attract more users in the future. The main goal now is to replace a lot of software I wrote myself in the last 15 years (which where included into the first release I mentioned above) by possible better and more up-to-date software, which will be modified on its turn to fit the needs of the Fortress Linux OS. This will save me a lot of time maintaining the whole project including my own software. You know how much time it takes to maintain only the vuurmuur firewall. The advanced new website takes some time to create (and to secure it). There is an preview of the new and more advanced Fortress Linux website on www.fortresslinux.nl Anyway, the reason why I respond here again is that I also want to try out Suricata, but I cannot find some extensive details about it. The only thing I do not like are the funders of the Suricata project. Can it be used together with grsecurity? Vuurmuur is a pretty nice program though it misses important features of iptables. But it's better than many other webbased and gui-based firewalls. I have made some changes into the Vuurmuur software which I want to give back to you. Victor: Thank you.

I do think it looks a bit "closed" though. Can't find who is behind it, mailinglists don't seem to have public archives, etc, etc. Makes it hard to see if the project is active and what direction it's moving in. @Patatinux: cool, your project looks interesting.

A couple of other guys are helping out as well, but they have limited time as well. Ilya, I’ve not abandoned Vuurmuur, development is just very slow.

Ain't you no more interested in its evolutioning? Honestly say, I find your project very useful indeed and I'd be glad to know it you'll continue working on it at least some more time. Best wishes, Ilya Egorov (Russia, Moscow) Dear Victor,

Does it work without IMQ? I seem to remember reading about IMQ having issues with ip_queue at the time, but my memory is fuzzy on this point.

I am trying to get snort_inline in nfqueue mode working with my traffic shaping using imq, on the same box (before you crucify me i know its not the best idea). All goes well both start with all their required kernel modules fine, not like the good ol'ip_queue days. However it seems it breaks iptables, did you run into any complications like this ? Victor,
