NAT by itself is not a firewall and only offers limited protection. For a quick solution you might be able to use one of the security distributions of linux like clark connect, ipcop, smoothwall. see www.distrowatch.com for a few. I think some of them install snort when you install the disto.
******************** I have a client who has MS proxy server 2.0 and a NAT firewall. I have already been able to exploit it. I am recommending they get a regular firewall put in place and dump all the rest. They however dont want to spend too much $$ on the project so I was thinking why ont a linux firewall? Having never set one up before and only having a little knowledge of linux where can I go to get a basic tutorial that just covers firewalls and linux. I know there are a million pages of text out there on linux and firewalls but i am under a slight time constraint and need a step by step with explanations or something similar for now. Any1 know of any sites or texts to get that would do this?
