IPCop is a good choice. There is an interface on the laptop console, not in the remote management interface. One of it's provisions is to change the network settings. You will be able to pick which interface is Red and which Green through those menus. > 2) I have a VPN server behind the firewall.

It is way better to have an Orange zone. And you must have a third network card to have an Orange zone. Probably hard to add a third with most laptops. You could put the VPN server on a single port forward into the Green, as you state. Probably safe enough but then I'm not a security guru. Because I am not a security guru, I would not do it that way. I would use the knowledge of the IPCop developers and get a different computer that can take three network cards so I have an Orange zone.
