Hi!

I'm looking for a good firewall with extended features to handle large sets of rules:

- Objects for Systems, FQDNs, networks, etc
- Object in object for groups
- Possibility to have multiple rule groups or possibility to jump between policy sets

In the past, I was using fwbuilder, but this project is dead.

Pricing is not the main problem...

Can you give me a hint?

Thank you for your help!!!

Look at Sophos UTM. Been using it at work for years and ita quite powerful. We have thousands of definitions and hundreds of firewall rules.

I'll link to my reply on the fwbuilder alternatives thread from a while back and suggest considering the open source Capirca tool. While it lacks a GUI, it supports objects in objects, the concept of include files for embedding re-used policies across many policies, and compiles rules into dozens of vendor specific syntaxes.
