Robert Scott, Alpaca
Although Linux has all of the necessary tools to do networking, including gateway devices, it is missing a comprehensive configuration utility to stitch it all together. At the end of the day, networking in Linux is hard, and we thought it was time for a change. We wanted something that was powerful, easy to use and looked good. We wanted to make open source networking sexy. Thus, we embarked on a journey to unite both classical and romantic beauty by marrying some of the most powerful tools in Linux Networking with some of the most celebrated web technologies. What emerged was the “Untangle Net Alpaca” -- a new open source networking utility that presents a consistent, reliable platform for setting up a wide range of networking tasks, including PPPoE Management, NAT, Redirect, Packet Filtering, Bridging, DNS, DHCP (dnsmasq), and more. At this talk, we will go through the design and function of Untangle Net Alpaca and demonstrate how you can use it to easily provide network services at the gateway. Robert Scott is a keyboard operator at Untangle. He is a passionate member of the Free and Open Source Software community with over 10 years of Linux experience and dedicates some of his time to developing an Open Source Car Stereo at cadvium.net. He enjoys working in a wide range of languages and development environments. He graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Harvard University in 2002.RSVP
