Piren MGS (Multimedia Gateway System) is a Piren derived distribution, that expands the common multimedia system with networking and security features that are particularly suitable for a SOHO environment, but that is powerful enough also for professional purposes.
Once loaded, you can configure and administer it using the web browser available from the Freevo user interface, or every other host in your LAN.
The main features are listed below:
- Web management interface for the main security features, that can be extended to provide support for many other additional services
- Asterisk web configuration interface to manage your complete telephony engine (full PBX and related tool kit)
- 802.1d bridge with Spanning Tree protocol to avoid loops even in the presence of redundant paths
- 802.1q Virtual LAN (tagged VLAN)
- QoS (Quality of Service) management and traffic shaping to control traffic over a congested network
- Router with static and dynamic routes (RIP, RIPng, OSPFv2, OSPFv3 and BGP protocols) with Cisco compatible shell and command-line syntax
- Network sniffer, using the popular WireShark application
- Firewall Packet Filter and Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) with filters applicable in both routing and bridging on all type of interfaces including VPN and VLAN
- Traditional Linux firewall configuration interface, with shortcuts for the most common activities
- Advanced Shoreline Firwall configuration interface
- SNAT/DNAT to use private class LAN addresses hidden on the WAN with public addresses
- IPSec and SSL based VPN management
- X509 certification authority for issuing and managing electronic certificates
- Can run from read-only media (like a cd-rom) without the risk to compromise your system: a simple reboot is sufficient to restore a running configuration
- Lightweight design: can be installed on a 256 Mb flash memory or USB stick
Moreover, every Home Theatre feature available within the original Piren 8.2 distribution is still present.
