Yes, it is very commonly used for that purpose. Linux Netfilter firewall capability is very advanced. It can do the same or better job as many of the most expensive commercial firewalls out there, if you can figure out how to configure it. Simpler configurations like NAT are a snap with this: http://monmotha.mplug.org/firewall/index.php Or a GUI tool like this: http://www.simonzone.com/software/guarddog/#screenshots Or a firewall on CD distribution (dedicated box only): http://www.smoothwall.org/ There are thousands of other examples like these links. I wrote this guide a while back in using MonMotha's iptables script to create a simple NAT/firewall box. http://www.mplug.org/phpwiki/index.php/BasicFirewallRouter More coming tomorrow...
