More security for your network

IPFire is a linux-distribution that focusses on easy setup, good handling and a high niveau of security.
It is operable via an intuitive webinterface, which offers a lot of playground for beginners and even experienced administrators. IPFire is maintained by experienced developers, who are really concerned about security and regulary updates to keep it secure.

IPFire ships with a custom built paket-manager called Pakfire, so the system can be expanded with various addons.

new server infrastructure

Since the last weekend, the services of the IPFire project are running on a bunch of new servers. Because of the wide distribution and the new hardware the services are running on, we get a lot more performance out of it what will be pleasant for the community as well.
This is also a place where we want to thank Hetzner because this won't be possible without their contribution and we are looking forward to provide more services in the next time.
