What firewall/router can people suggest, when there is also a DMZ (server) involved?
As good as ipcop is as personal firewall for a simple adsl setup, and with nice eye candy for setup, it falls much short of expectations: * No traffic shaping on the DMZ. * No egress filtering on the DMZ. If the server gets hacked, you're spamming at maximum bandwidth[1]. Is this a total joke or what? * On a test box with 2 network cards for internal and DMZ, with an external interface declared to be a modem but that's not set up, ipcop fails to set up any forwarding rules between LAN/server. Does this mean if the internet link goes down, internal users can't reach the server any more? Is this another joke? After many favourable mentions on this list of ipcop, I am distinctly unimpressed (and wasted a day on it). There are "addons" available which do above first 2 points, marked in bold as "unofficial", "may/will compromise your security", bla bla, all not inspiring confidence. Any better suggestions much appreciated. Thanks, Volker [1] On Telstra, that is currently 2 megabits per second, and *very* expensive if continued for a month. -- Volker Kuhlmann is list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
