In Holland we have a word for "chello" but i will spare everyone that. > > So, this ISP doesn't allow to run any server services. Please explain, run servers, who is chello so dictate what "they" a;;ow and don not allow, they provide an "internet service" which means you the end user are connect to the net, it does not matter what you do or what services you supply to others, you pay on a data basis, or is it so much different in your Country as it is here in Holland.????? > I know that I could run some servers (www, ftp, mail) with some tricks > ;) in order to be not visible (my services) for my ISP.

I think you need to understand that every byte of data is readable to you isp, every packet is readable so your isp knows on which ports you operate, its up to you to encrypt your data so noone can read your data period, but you cannot stop one from seeing to which port it is sent and which port it came from. > I know that I can run, for example FTP server on different ports and > so on, but I think that my ISP can make some monitoring of SYN packets > going straigth to my server and check on which port someone try to > connect with my server. > What do you think, am I talking nonsense ?

Simply use IP_MASQ on your linux router for you internal network, i have had to read between the lines here but i think you mean, you want your internal machines to be able to access the net via chello right.????? > > Any suggestions, piece of advice ??? Yes one, please try to explain just what you want to do as here in Holland i know of many who use CHELLO and one can do what one wants, its a pay as you go basis not you may not have servers... > > Best regards, > > -- > > Mateusz Łoskot > E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > GG#: 792434 > -- Regards Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
