Coyote Linux
Last Update: 2026-06-22 19:06 UTC
Coyote Linux is a security-centric distribution of Linux designed to provide firewall, VPN, IP routing and related services. It is built on Alpine Linux with an immutable firmware architecture and safe rollback capability. The product's other interesting features include separation of configuration files from the system image, minimal attack surface through reduced footprint, appliance-style deployment and upgrades, and Ed25519 firmware signature verification. The Coyote Linux project has been providing firewall and router solutions since 2000 when its early firewall releases were designed to fit on a single floppy disk.
