Firewall / Router

[kZo]

I need some documentations for Router/Firewall configurations. I'm going to setup a very secure firewall and router soon. So if anyone knows of some good DOC's I would certainly appreciate some links. Thanks.

Try the website www.security-focus.com, they have a wealth of information there, and I'm sure you can find some good documentation there.

Yes, I'm running it right now on a box, its amazing, web-interface but with the flexibility of IPTABLES, so its more customizable than those damn retail piles.

:) well guys, I'd love to get something like smoothwall. I am going to running the firewall/router on a p166 pentium if I do. So, gui, and web is definately out. :( So I'm looking for maybe more documentation on ipchains/iptables I guess.

Buddy, have you looked at the system requirements for smoothwall? Your 166 is fine. Give 'er.

You want LEAF. [/url][url=http://leaf.sourceforge.net/]http://leaf.sourceforge.net/ It's a router distro that boots from a floppy. Not having a HDD in the computer means : less noise, fewer moving parts, less to break.

 

I have it running on a P75 w/ 64mb RAM, doing NAT for 6 users on 2 network segments.
