I was wondering if IPTables defeat http tunnelling out of the box (after installing Linux 2.4) or must they be configured first?
I installed Linux for the 1st time last week (SuSE 7.3) and don't understand if the SuSE Personal Firewall (rejects TCP unasked for TCP connections from outside?) eliminates the need for a hardware firewall in front of it? I'm not running a server of any kind, I don't need to log in remotely or anything like that. If I get an old 486 and run a firewall from a boot floppy/RAMdisk would I get any more protection? I've been searching the net about this but information about IPTables is rare, most people talk about ipchains instead. -- -- Jack __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
