Wot would you like your firewall to do? Do you want a firewall to just block, redirect and allow ports. do you want a proxying firewall where it's internet interface is the only thing people see, but when traffic comes in it then redirects to other machines?
IPtables is part of the Linux kernel. smoothwall just uses the interface to make administring things easier. All your "firewall" tools will be either ipchians (2.2 kernel) or iptables (2.4 kernel) it depends on what how you want to build your firewall. > G'day > > What is a good firewall to use? > I know of iptables and smoothwall. > Is there any other Firewall that I can use or that would be good? > I am using Debian Woody and the firewall will sit behind a TPG ADSL Router. > > > TIA > > Faiyaaz > > > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* > http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail > > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ > More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug > > ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
