In their own words

Endian Firewall Community

Endian Firewall Community is a free, open-source Linux firewall for home networks, small networks, home labs, and learning environments. It provides stateful protection for network resources, with firewall rules that can apply in both directions. SSL and IPsec VPN support remote access and links between locations. Email security addresses spam, phishing, and other malicious email, while antivirus covers web and email traffic. Its intrusion prevention system analyzes traffic flows for internal and external threats. Multi-WAN can support failover or simultaneous connections, and quality of service can prioritize traffic such as VoIP, web, and email. Built-in reports cover live and historical network traffic, plus daily, weekly, and monthly web usage. The Community Edition uses an open-source GPL license and costs nothing. Its web filtering allowance is 1.8 million URLs, with one anti-spam engine and one antivirus engine. Application control, advanced content security, high availability, and centralized management are unavailable. Community users do not receive professional support.
