OK, I might be hijacking this thread, but I suppose it's somewhat of a similar topic... I've toyed with the idea of running Slimserver on the same machine I use as my firewall and proxy to the outside world. Having read this thread, I think I should probably DMZ the slimserver on another machine behind the firewall which brings me to my question...
My existing home firewall is an old Redhat 5 machine (circa 1998) running iptables with NAT and some port forwarding to other servers. I need to retire this monolithic beast because it consumes a ton of electricity for a simple firewall. Does anyone know of a small, cheap, off-the-shelf, linux firewall that runs iptables or is at least as simple to configure and change as iptables? I frequently SSH to my current setup to change a few ports, which I like because it's easy. I would love to do that same, just with a smaller more efficient firewall. An ideas?
