Greetings,
I have set up a FreeBSD gateway/firewall with ipf and ipnat in the past, but I am now confronted with a new challenge. I need to setup the firewall to only allow internet (www) access to users who successfully authenticate themselves with a username/password combination.
Ideally, a user will open their web browser and be confronted with a authentication popup before gaining access to browse the web. Users should be able to access mail without authentication.
Squid seems to be your friend for www/ftp.
What do you mean by accessing mail without authenticatoin? hotmail or similar? If you want to provide mail service yourself, then users must authenticate in order not to be able to read others mail, also by authenticating smtp and only allow smtp to your server you prevent virus and spambots from spreading.
