OpenBSD Live-CD Firewall is an OpenBSD-based pf (packet filter) firewall, with DNS, squid, NAT, and a DHCP server (dnsmasq) for internal clients preconfigured. Settings and log files can be saved to a USB device.

Saved settings will be restored at the next reboot. Additional security related software is available on the CD (arpwatch, honeyd, ntop, portsentry, etc.)

Here are some key features of "OpenBSD Live CD Firewall":
runs without modifying the hard-drive
external interface will be configured via DHCP - should work with a Cable Modem connection
DHCP service for internal LAN
caching DNS
Squid Proxy
NAT (masquerading)
save your configuration and passwords to an USB mass-storage device (usb-pen drive) [ /backup/etc2usb ]
If the USB device is connected at boot time these settings will be used.
save all log files to an USB mass-storage device for future analysis [ /etc/log2usb ]

What's New in This Release:
The Squid proxy server works now in transparent mode without further configuration.
