IPFire 2.13 Core 77 is a new version of the specialist Linux distribution designed for firewalls. It is the release with the most changes since the beginning of the IPFire 2 series. Those changes include major work on the base of the system, security has been improved in lots of ways and there are many changes regarding the user interface. The firewall GUI has been in development for over a year now and has been massively extended so that almost everything is possible now. There are groups which make creating rules for multiple hosts or services very easy and help you to hold your nerves, even with complex rule sets. All your rules will be automatically converted, but we recommend to double check that everything works as intended.
