Why is this so difficult?

JacobHiltz

Coming from Debian iptables I was excited to try XG. I had used UTM 9 and was impressed but it lacked HA at a reasonable price so did not continue.

What is this? Why are firewall rules SO difficult to create? It will take me days to do what I could do with iptables in an hour, or UTM in 2 hours. Why is the initial IP 172.16.16.16? Shorewall in Linux does a great job of zones, XG you fail miserably here. The GUI is slow and unintuitive.

I have yet to use a product that looked so interesting but ended up being completely useless. UTM was and is a far superior product, too bad it costs an arm and a leg for a company of 50.

    I concur, I don't understand why things that were so easy to do such as setup a host definition where you could specify DNS, DHCP, all in one spot has now been completely separated into totally different areas that now takes 10 times as long to setup. Seems like they threw away all the good aspects of UTM, started brand new again and we're back at a beta 1 product that is going to take a lot of work to even be competitive and worthwhile.
