IPFire is a hardened[3] open source Linux distribution that primarily performs as a router and a firewall; a standalone firewall system with a web-based management console for configuration.
IPFire originally started as a fork of IPCop[4] and has been rewritten on basis of Linux From Scratch since version 2.[5] It supports installation of add-ons to add server services, which can be extended into a SOHO server.[6] In April 2015, the project became a member of the Open Invention Network.[7]
