| m0n0wall计划的目标是创建一份完整的、内置的防火墙软件包，当它配合PC使用时，能够提供商用防火墙机器的所有重要功能（连同易用性在内），而其
价钱却只是后者的一小部分（因为m0n0wall是自由软件）。m0n0wall基于FreeBSD的一个精简版本，并带有一个web服务器
（thttpd）、PHP以及其他一些实用工具。整套系统配置存储于单个的XML文本文件以对系统透明。m0n0wall很可能是首个拥有用PHP实现的
启动配置的UNIX系统，而通常这是依靠shell脚本的，此外，它把整个系统配置都用XML格式存储。 Manuel Kasper has released m0n0wall 1.236, an updated version of the FreeBSD-based firewall distribution which corrects a security issue in the DHCP client and includes some captive portal fixes from the 1.3 beta branch. From the changelog: "Fixed a security issue in the DHCP client; captive portal fixes - changed RADIUS timeout and maxtries from 5/3 to 3/2 reducing failover time from 30 to 15 seconds, added RADIUS attribute support for 'ChilliSpot Bandwidth Max-Up' and 'ChilliSpot Bandwidth Max-Down', fixed concurrent login detection, now case-insensitive, fixed Pass-Through MAC addresses in combination with RADIUS MAC authentication; SVG fixes for Internet Explorer 7 and 8; properly escape DHCP client hostnames in webGUI."
