I'm a newbie at networking and I've been reading "Building Firewalls with OpenBSD and PF" and a couple of other resources. I have a pdf of how I'm thinking about setting up my home network.
http://tyson.homeunix.org/net.pdf Page 2 gives the policies/functionality I would like to have. I want the system to be secure but I would also like to be able to admin the system from the outside. I can't decide if it would be best for the firewall to be transparant or not. Also, the admin computer listed isn't absolutely necessary but I thought it might be a good way to help me admin the system from the outside. Also, I'm still looking into learning how to use the Linksys WRT54G in "bridge mode." As I understand it, I will need to do this. I would appreciate any input on this idea. Thanks -- Terry http://tyson.homeunix.org
