Not that it's incredibly difficult to do by hand, but it is a complex undertaking fraught with some risk in doing it wrong. I believe you'd be much better served looking at some of the firewall applications out there, such as IPCop or Smoothwall. Another one to look at is Shorewall (http://www.shorewall.net/), which is not configured via Web GUI, but is purely text configuration. I've used Shorewall for several years and like it a lot... Tom Eastep did a pretty good job. -Alan

Hi All,
I have a home business circuit and I am gearing up to host my business affairs in my place. I have Comcast and 13 static IP's.
I have an extra PIII 1U, 2 9gb SCSI, 1gb RAMm dual NICS.
So I am wanting to build a firewall to front end my traffic. Assign one of my statics to it and have Comcast statically route my traffic to this IP. Then when traffic comes have it decide if it is allowed or not and if allowed pass it to the right server based upon the rules.
I used to work with PIX 525's so I have knowledge, I just dont quite know how to do this with CentOS and such.
Can anyone offer advice?
Best, -Jason _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
