Well FWbuilder is NOT easy. The documentation does not match the current GUI. Now the box is locked up. I will have to pull it again, hook it up to a kybd/VGA and reset iptables....
Maybe Shoreline with webmin....
Problem is I want a REAL router/firewall with little work. Both public and private nets have routable addresses. No NATing for me! I just help write the RFC ;) And all the templates for fwbuilder want you to be using NATing.
Perhaps I should just set up another Astaro firewall. I have been using Astaro since v3, so I am comfortable with it....
I just turned off my Astaro Gateway, as it pissed me off by continually throttling my 10M/10M FIOS connection.....:^> I liked the integration of services in the box, and I likely would have kept it for that one item. I'll be looking at an IPCOP/Smoothwall/Monowall replacement. I have an IPCOP box at work for our public access DSL connection. (Customers kept surfing p*rn in the waiting area. Squidguard on IPcop fixed that..) Uptime on that box (Compaq P2-733) is around 250 days right now. I had to move the box, so it would be more like 400....
