SafeLinux

Welcome, we're still trying to get this site up and running so there's not much here...


Description

SafeLinux is designed as a small and lightweight VPN distribution. Complete firewalling as well as simple connection management will be included.


Goals

The goal of the project is to be able to distribute a complete Linux system with all necessary VPN software included.

To provide the necessary software infrastructure for a consulting company to deploy VPN firewalls that have the inherent capabilites to be remotely managed. Through the use of an extensible management agent, remote updates and management will be possible over a secure channel

The following is a shopping list of what we aim to build from a high level:

And from a technical perspective:


Why?

Many times I have had to implement secure VPN solutions without large amounts of capital. Small organizations have the need more and more for secure remote connections to home offices and small remote facilities. The commercial options on the market are tremendously expensive and difficult to implement. The publicly available Linux VPN solutions are extremely capable (Free/SWAN), but are difficult to build, install and configure. This is the mindset in which SafeLinux was born.


Mission

To provide enterprise level VPN solutions to organizations without enterprise level budgets. To build and distribute a Linux based VPN firewall that is scalable, reliable and simple to manage.


Status

Right now we have a blueprint for the base system, a working model of the VPN capabilities and this site.
