RE: OT: Firewall

Title: Message

I ran amoothwall for quite a while, nice solution but I am now using an ASUS AAM6000EV ADSL router with built in NAT and port forwarding. This gives me everything that Smoothwall did (except logging) and lets me use netmeeting behind NAT straight out of the box. This bit of kit cost me £138 including VAT from http://www.solwise.co.uk and it means I now have a spare PC (OK a backup HA PC).

 

There are equivelent solutions for ISDN such as 3COM's Lanmodem which offer similar features (I just happen to have one of these going spare if you wan't to make me an offer), details at http://emea.3com.com/products/lanmodems/oc_isdn_st.html

 

Regards

Ian

Subject: [ukha_d] OT: Firewall

What is the easiest, most efficient and cheapest way of setting up a
firewall for my home.

I have an available PC with an ISDN TA and a Ethernet card.

I would assume that the PC (firewall) would dial (and drop!) on demand, so
it could run headless without human intervention.

I am not after a step-by-step 'how to do' guide; simply some
pointers/recommendations for right software to use.

Thanks - Steve
