In my experience, everything works so long as you are comfortable with the platform and know what you want and what you are doing.

For instance, when I started doing office servers, I was introduced or directed to SME Server.
Nowadays I would rather set up an OS platform and configure everything from scratch rather than take the a bundled platform that speeds up some setups. Even if it is for five users, yes 5 users

Same case for you, you can choose the bundled setups; Zenytal, PFsense, etc, or you can set up a server and install all packages individually. Personally Im a fan of the latter option

...and I see no talk of overkill for deciding to install CentOS n then run your stuff on it.

@Shadrack,

If you don't mind another OS, then one of the easiest and fastest ways of getting a Firewall and Proxy running is by use of pfSense (which is based on FreeBSD).

Hi Guys,
I plan to set-up a firewall and a proxy server using a Linux box.
Which is the best distro for quick implementation of the firewall and proxy server

Regards
Shad

If you save the living environment, the biodiversity that we have left,
you will also automatically save the physical environment, too. But If
you only save the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both.

1) Don’t drive species to extinction

2) Don’t destroy a habitat that species rely on.

3) Don’t change the climate in ways that will result in the above.
