LiveCD News

Slashdot is announcing the release of the m0n0wall based pfSense 1.0 Firewall LiveCD.

OSDir.com has screenshots up of m0n0wall 1.2 Beta 10.

O’Reilly European Open Source Convention in the Netherlands is going to have a talk about m0n0wall. I won’t be going 🙁

Ask Slashdot has a LiveCD firewall question. Only a few responses so far, but these usually end up with some useful information.

Lan Game Reviews has a good how-to guide for seting up a router that will allow you to play online games no matter who is on your network. They use m0n0wall for the LiveCD, no hard drive needed.

The next step is to enable Traffic Shaping. This is what prioritizes packets so you get great pings while downloading. Click on the Traffic Shaping button on the left menu bar, and click the Magic Shaper Wizard tab. Select the checkbox saying Set P2P traffic to lowest priority and input the downstream and upstream speeds for your connection.
