Hi, Firewall harddrive fried after a power cut. So I just reinstalled, went like a dream but it raised questions...
I used IPMasq which is just fine but i'm never sure how to add a firewall to filter port access, my concern is that it is fiddling with ipchains so how can i be confident my stuff is getting added and will not interfere. I noticed in the unstable distro that there is a new ipchains package for load/saving ipchain configurations and also ferm which deals with some of the tricks associated with being confident the firewall config is useful. Could i use them or are they not designed to play friendly with ipmasq? The second part to my problem is that of port forwarding, i want to expose an internal system ssh port through the firewall and also an internal http server from time to time. What i really want is to see some recommended config examples in the README.Debian of ipmasq. So am i a newby with dilusions of grandure? (if so sorry) and, can anyone offer advice? cheers, Oliver.
