IPCop vs Smoothwall

[Erik Bixby]

"> - Squid does transparent proxying so it can't be bypassed

Web proxying is one (I think the only) feature of IPCop I'm not (yet)
using. I'm not sure if there's really a difference here or not."

IPCop does transparent proxying, as well.  I am not aware of any
feature that the "free" version of Smoothwall has that IPCop does not.
 However, I can tell you that when I switched the "free" version of
Smoothwall did not support multiple IP addresses on the "red"
interface, and did not support traffic shaping.  IPCop does both
these.
