The decision was to keep the old name to give tribute to this really
great piece of software. The legacy version of guardian has been
introduced more than a decade ago. So I think the term "guardian" is
well known in the certain group of people which currently are using (or
have used) one of the various free and open firewall solutions out
there. Renaming the software to a different name will break those
recognition.

I don't agree in using a name like "IPS" or a similar one would
help anybody in the decision to use the software or not, nor to promote
it.

This is not really a guardian related issue, it affects the intrusion
detection system. Snort is currently not configured to monitor the
traffic inside the network zones or between them.

This will be one of the next points on my personal "todo-list" and
guardian 2.0 was just on of the first steps of extending IDS/IPS on
IPFire.
