Hi, I need to set up a firewall on my company's small network. What I
have in mind is a box that does packet filtering, shuts down unused ports,
and such. This machine would have to be transparent as we do web
hosting. So some thing that looks like this:
+------+ +------------+ +------+
The Internet --|Router|--|Firewall Box|--|Switch|-- Our Network
+------+ +------------+ +------+
If that makes any sense. My question is where do I start? Is there any
good software or documentation that deals with this kind of set up? I
know I can start shutting down ports using ipchains, but some one else
must already be using a set up like this.
Thanks,
-Matt-
