PHP Smoothwall

We’ve recently started work on a new project in PHP development. We are currently starting the process of building a PHP object class for Smoothwall data collection and processing. Smoothwall is a function-specific, Linux based operating system thats primary design was to be a firewall and basic network controller. As time passed and the project gained success, Smoothwall has grown and expanded its array of incorporated functions to include not only basic firewall controls and DHCP systems, but many others including static or dynamic DNS and a built in NTP time server.

Another beneficial feature that the Smoothwall OS offers is the ability to monitor several aspects of network use from many network locations. This sort of information can be of great use to networking techs for things like traffic optimization and determining system availability requirements. With this in mind, the initial version of the Smoothwall object being planned will be centered on statistics collection.

This coding project is being designed with public release in mind. It can be expected to be seen on our website in the coming weeks.
