Has anybody looked at http://www.smoothwall.org ? Looks pretty good too if you have a box to spare. Felix On Thu, 24 Jul 2003 20:13:46 +1200 Gavin Denby <redhat(a)ihug.co.nz> wrote:

Covers IP routing and stuff, You probably only need the last bit, but ut was easier to send it all to you.
Good luck
I cheated, got a 486, installed IPCOP firewall, web configured and very nice, My router also has a firewall, so I'm now behind 2 of them

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a firewall to hopefully prevent being hacked again. Since the machine is a dialup (until DSL comes to Hikutaia) I figure that it's got to be pretty straightforward.
The machine is also a workstation and file/print/mail/dnscache etc server for my home office network of itself plus 2 or 3 other > machines.
The whole issue of what firewall software to use seems a bit confusing, but I think I've figured out that ipmasq does what I need. I've installed it and read the debian ipmasq users manual but I'm not sure what to do next. According to the manual I configure it using dpkg-reconfigure. I've done that and selected the ppp option.
What next? The manual doesn't say any more, does that mean that it's automatically configured? Do I need to learn the details of iptables so I can confirm that it is correct or is there an easier way? Currently I don't really have the time to do that so if the answer to the last question is yes then can you guys suggest someone who I could pay to do it?
Thanks g
