IPFire 2.29 Core Update 201 hardened Linux firewall distro is now available for download with DNS Firewall, Intrusion Prevention System improvements, updated components, and other changes.

Coming almost two months after IPFire 2.29 Core Update 200, the IPFire 2.29 Core Update 201 is here to introduce one of the most requested features in IPFire’s history, the DNS Firewall, which transforms IPFire from a network gatekeeper into an active threat eliminator.
