Re: Firewall with USB

2005-06-22 Thread John Anderson

Hi,

USB is not totally irrelevant, since it means I can't connect my 
firewall/router directly to my input, but I take your point.


I will have USB connections to my ISDN upload and my satellite decoder, my 
question was more whether freebsd firewall supports USB devices in principle 
for the WAN or whether it will only take ethernet WAN and LAN.


I guess the answer was yes, so long as the drivers for my external devices 
exist.

Hi there folks,

Having just moved into the country I am forced to use satellite for a 
broadband connection. Due to telsra having a monopoly on this, I need to 
have 2 USB connections, one for satellite download, one for ISDN upload. 
So my router doesn't fit.


Does anyone know if the freebsd firewall will support two USB WAN 
connections to a normal LAN internal network?


USB is irrelevant; you need to consider what kind of USB devices you
using to connect.  Having more than one external interface is not by
itself a problem.
