'''IPCop''' is a [[Linux distribution]] which aims to provide a simple-to-manage firewall appliance based on [[IBM PC compatible|PC]] hardware. IPCop is a [[stateful firewall]] built on the Linux [[netfilter]] framework.

Originally a [[Fork (software)|fork]] of the [[SmoothWall]] Linux firewall,<ref>[[SmoothWall#Smoothwall Express|IPCop forked from SmoothWall GPL 0.9.9 in late 2001.]]</ref> the projects are developed independently, and have now diverged significantly. [[IPFire]], an other firewall distribution, has been forked in 2005 because of stagnant development of the IPCop project.

IPCop includes a simple, user managed update mechanism to install security updates when required.
