Raspberry Pi and IPFire

I got myself a Raspberri Pi, model B (512 MB RAM) and installed IPFire on it. I’m using the Pi as a personal firewall and learning tool.

I tried turning on IDS, Proxy, Content filters, but the Pi would crash after a day or so. I’m awaiting a stronger USB power supply to see if that helps. Installation wasn’t straight-forward and required some manual intervention. I wrote some installation notes about it.

    • No, I haven’t been able to get it stable. The Proxy and Content filter options made the Pi slower and less stable, so I turned that off. I got a better USB power supply and hooked the Pi up to a UPS(for a more steady supply of voltage), but that still crashes too often for daily use. I’m not sure what’s causing the Pi to crash.
