  • x86-based PCs

Have an old PC lying around in your office? Then you can use m0n0wall to use it as an enterprise level firewall. With an extremely small memory footprint, it was designed to run on embedded appliances. However, it can run on any old x86-based PCs with at least 64MB of RAM. It has a GUI interface for easy administration to setup high-level features such as VLAN, VPN, and syslogging.
