Just saw a Popular Technology~Science~Mechanics magazine in Toys R Us about the new artificial intelligence. Glanced at it real quick and one article was titled on how to build new machines that won't kill us. Wish I could have gotten it but more focused on Christmas shopping right now.
I mean yeah, VyOS is a great firewall/router, but the implication of that statement is for IDS/Content Filtering.
VyOS uses Squid if you want it, same as pfSense, Smoothwall, Untangle, etc. So content filtering you can do just the same. Most people using VyOS don't use it for the same reasons that you and I do not put that on our routers, but if the goal is to do that, it enables it the same as those other products but with an opportunity to learn it rather than have it just magically appear.
Did not realize that they had squid baked in. Iassumed it had tobe added.
Baked in, but off by default. So we all ignore it 🙂
