i'm on 128K adsl. So all these functions chris, you select them using the GUI (web browser)?
How big is the cahce? I'm not going to filter alot, maybe not even at all. Just using it as a firewall for the LAN. Is a webserver a good idea in terms of traffic, if I get a static ip or something like that?

Well it all depends on how fast your connection is? What do you want to do in the way of filtering? I use a very old 25MHz '486 with 16Megs RAM and about 170Megs of disk space and it works very well. The squid cache and the snort IDS are both on, but I am not filtering the WWW feed for objectional material. The connection is 128kbits, and there are 2 ip services forwarded to two different destination machines. Having the squid cache in place saves us about 200Mbytes in traffic each month.
