Greetings all, I need to install a firewall device and wish to find one that uses Iptables. I could go with something else, but I am very familiar with Iptables (I have it running in multiple locations) and really don't want to maintain two different technologies. I've got enough to do as it is.
This firewall will sit behind a gateway router that will allow only SSH, HTTP/HTTPS, and OpenVPN inbound. It will isolate an outward facing web server (DMZ or "orange" network) from an office LAN. There will be at least two file servers connected to it, and I would like to give them dedicated ports; thus a minimum of 5 ports (or WAN plus 4 LAN). Having a few extra ports for future expansion would be nice. Wireless is not required (nor even desired, in my opinion). I couldn't find anything in the SLL archives over the last year (but I might not have been searching correctly). Suggestions? Advice? Thank you. -- Mike Schuh, Seattle USA http://www.farmdale.com
