Been a while since I posted on this blog but here we go!

I’ve been working with the Vyatta firewall and this is by far the best software router and firewall I’ve been working with. I’m using this as a virtual machine in a hosting solution. We have a VLAN for each customer and this works as a router and firewall between the infrastructure.

We found out that this is probably one of the few software routers that don’t need to reboot when you add a new VLAN. It’s quite tricky to use since it’s all command line interface(CLI) but you get used to it and you can use tab-key to auto complete alot of configuration. If you need a firewall with performance and no limits in firewall features this is the application. So go check the Vyatta firewall out

Cisco released their new ASA software that’s running on a linux platform and my guess is that the next step is to start ship virtual appliances.

A friend of mine was looking for a link at pirate bay, i thought that it could not be that hard to find it. So I found the what he was looking for and then i tried to past the URL on his wall.
To my suprise i got a message that I should try later, refreshed the paged and then tried to past my message again. Same error.

I replaced thepiratebay with something else and was able to post my message. I’m curious to see what other urls is blocked. Please let me know!
Found a post at dmwmedia that tells us this is due to the “share on facebook” feature piratebay implemented a while ago.
