I am a newbie sysadmin. I have set up a FreeBSD firewall at home and have
been given the task of setting up a firewall at the office. I have two lans
that are currently separated by a WinSocks Proxy. I am on lan1, the other
lan is lan2, both have non-internet routable addresses. I was going to
replace this with an OpenBSD firewall. The reason why I want to do this is
because I want to be able to connect to hidden Windows shares, e.g. ipc$,
from one lan1 to lan2, but not the other way. We cannot do this with the
proxy. We need to connect to these shares on the other lan on occasion and
end up using a dialup to the other lan instead of the proxy.
Now lan1 has unlimited access to lan2, but I would like to limit access to
my side. Is this a contradiction? Can I allow us to map shares to Windows
boxes and browse in one direction only?
Any rants, suggestions, advice and/or tutorials welcome.
Thanks!
