Fireguardian Firewall Software
Fireguardian Firewall Software
Fireguardian Firewall Software is a powerful, all-in-one firewall solution designed to secure networks of any size—from enterprise data centers to small office setups. Built for performance, flexibility, and deep protection, Fireguardian ensures your network remains safe, fast, and reliable.
Fireguardian – The Operating System
Fireguardian is a complete operating system installed on appropriate hardware. It is based on Linux, but unlike stock distributions like Debian or Fedora, Fireguardian is hardened and optimized for use as a firewall. Each component and software package used is selected by the developers and built from source. These are often patched to improve the security of the system and reduce the attack surface. To give the maintainers this kind of flexibility, Fireguardian is not based on any other distribution.

Design Philosophy
Fireguardian uses standard Linux components and packages. These modules are configured as defined in their man pages. Fireguardian itself is configured using the Web User Interface (Web UI), realized by a couple of programs. These programs hold their state and configuration in a set of ‘internal’ files. The Web UI programs check for legal settings and aim to store only valid configurations. It is also the task of these programs to convert these internal settings into standard .conf files. This yields some implications:
