First I am new to linux and making some progress. Now I am looking at
the beast (atleast in my eyes) called IPTABLES.

Then playing around on google I came across IPCOP.

Can one of you gurus tell me which one outperforms the other? Which
is easiest to manage. And any personal stories with each product I'd
be interested in reading.

I found stories on IPCOP vs Astaro, but you have to pay for Astaro.
IPTABLES and IPCOP both being free have my interest.

JUst looking for some guidance and personal stories from the trenches
here. Thanks.
