Manual BFW Pro

The BrazilFW Professional Edition Firewall and Router is a mini distribution Linux which is intended to be a Firewall and Router. It is closed source and paid and has at its core the Linux kernel version 4.7.0 with architecture only in 64 bits. It is intended for professional use in both corporate and provider networks.

Until 2015 the development of the Distro BFW Firewall and Router that is open and free has the development of version 3.x done As a “ hobbyist” type of the developer woshman (Washington Rodrigues) .

Until then the BrazilFW Firewall and Router Project was maintained by donations from a few but valiant donors to whom we will be eternally grateful, by donation campaigns known as “D-Day Donations to the BFW” and by donations of materials for tests and raffles.

We would also like to thank moderators, documenters and add-on developers who are key players for the BFW Project to exceed 11 years of life. We are also grateful to users who provide free support to others on topics in the BFW Forum.

A group of users suggested and requested that BFW Project be a Professional Project and not only a “Project of a hobby”.

Already in early 2016 the BFW Project gained a new direction. Structural changes were made and we launched the Building Payment BFW.

We also created the Group BFW Associate. Currently the maintenance of the BFW domains and the Hosting of the BFW Forum is maintained by the donations of these few but valuable BFW Associates.

Woshman embraced the suggestion and request for a “professional” version and started to develop the Version 4.x of the Distro BFW, thus being born the BrazilFW Professional Edition - Firewall and Router.
