Hardware - requirements Print

Gibraltar is based on the Linux distribution Debian. Therefore Gibraltar runs on each hardware, which is compatible with Debian. Depending on the used features and on the size of the network you want to protect, we recommend the following basic configuration:

Firewall

Pentium PC, at least 300MHz
128MB RAM
bootable CD-ROM drive
1.44" floppy disk drive
2 x network interface cards 10/100/1000

Firewall and proxy server functions

Pentium PC, at least 600MHz
256MB RAM
bootable CD-ROM 32 or faster
hard disk 10GB or bigger for log files and proxy cache
1.44" floppy disk drive or USB adapter alternatively for saving the configuration
2 x network interface cards 10/100/1000

Firewall with VPN functions

Depending on the number of tunnels and the encoding intensity a respectively higher-performanced computer should be used.

Network interface card

In principle every PCI Plug'n Play network interface card should work with Gibraltar. Best results were achieved using one of the following chipsets:
  • NE2000 compatible
  • 3COM
  • Intel
  • Realtek

Modem

Any USB or serial analog modem or ISDN modem.

ADSL

ADSL PPTP or ADSL PPPoE
