				<h3>more security for your network</h3>
				<p>
					<strong>IPFire</strong> is a source-based linux firewall distribution
					that brings additional features with it. The easy-to-set-up system defeats
					its competitiors like IPCop, Smoothwall and Endian-Firewall potty.
					A <strong>stateful-inspection-firewall</strong> with a luxuriant
					<strong>content-filtering</strong>-engine plus
					<strong>traffic-control (QoS)</strong> rounded with latest
					<strong>vpn-technology</strong> and a lot of logging is
					foolproof to administer with just a very few clicks.
