Right now I have my
internet connection up and running (adsl using rp-pppoe 3).
I would like to set
up a simple internal firewall for my laptop.
I've used Bastille
before (1.2) but always come up against the same problem. (BTW I do need
to install iptables before installing Bastille, correct? Right now I have
neither iptables nor ipchains installed.) This problem is that after
installation of Bastille and setting the rules, I become unable to browse
internet sites by name (as opposed to ip) while logged in as a normal
user. I have no problem, however, as root.
I seem to recall
this not being a problem if I don't install iptables (but then again, that's
probably because it's not setting up any netfilter rules). In order to fix
this problem, the only thing that I've so far found is a reinstall of my
system. I have tried stopping Bastille and setting it to no longer begin
at login or boot but this does not fix it. (Perhaps there is an uninstall
or undo script?)
I would like some
guidance before trying to set it up again. Maybe I can avoid another
reinstall.
Thank
You!

PS Should I be
using IPTables or the one called IPTables ip6 or something like
that?
