Hello in one of the emails I sent earlier ; mark (m.roth@5-cent.us) mentioned:

 install linux on a computer with two ethernet cards.  connect eth0 to
 your internet connection, and eth1 to your local network.   configure
 iptables firewall rules in the linux system.  or install pfsense on that
 same computer.

Please if any one can help with more details and example for the configuration that would be awesome.

I would use Shorewall instead of regular firewall. And there is Webmin module for Shorewall. If you protect Webmin properly (like only localhost access) it can help you greatly with simple configuration.

Shorewall even supports "tc", bandwidth shaping.
