Introduction

m0n0wall & OPNsense is a project aimed at creating a complete, embedded firewall software package that, when used together with an embedded PC, provides all the important features of commercial firewall boxes (including ease of use) at a fraction of the price (free software). m0n0wall is based on a bare-bones version of FreeBSD, along with a web server (thttpd), PHP and a few other utilities. The entire system configuration is stored in one single XML text file to keep things transparent. m0n0wall is probably the first UNIX system that has its boot-time configuration done with PHP, rather than the usual shell scripts, and that has the entire system configuration stored in XML format.

m0n0wall计划的目标是创建一份完整的、内置的防火墙软件包,当它配合PC使用时,能够提供商用防火墙机器的所有重要功能(连同易用性在内),而其价钱却只是后者的一小部分(因为m0n0wall是自由软件)。m0n0wall基于FreeBSD的一个精简版本,并带有一个web服务器(thttpd)、PHP以及其他一些实用工具。整套系统配置存储于单个的XML文本文件以对系统透明。m0n0wall很可能是首个拥有用PHP实现的启动配置的UNIX系统,而通常这是依靠shell脚本的,此外,它把整个系统配置都用XML格式存储。
