Mandriva Multi Network Firewall 2 is a Mandriva Linux security solution designed for businesses. It provides up-to-date security features for multiple networks.
With Multi Network Firewall, you get more than just a firewall. This software also includes an Intrusion Detection System, VPN functionality, a proxy server, a DHCP server, and a caching DNS.

Plus, you can intercept all web traffic entering the network and enable automatic configuration of new machines connected to the LAN.
Multi Network Firewall now offers two additional types of VPN, PPTP and OpenVPN, in addition to IPSec. You can also take advantage of bonding, which combines several network interfaces into a single connection, and bridging, which enables the administrator to build bridges between network interfaces. Additionally, traffic shaping makes it possible to regulate the flow of traffic on your network with just a few clicks.
