While I do have a dedicated low-power box I can use, it came to mind
that I could use OmniOS on a more powerful Internet-facing server and
use it as the firewall for my network (screening and session-oriented
NAT). Assuming that the Internet-facing interface is sufficiently
battened down, this should provide optimum performance for other
software running on the same system while providing good security.
I know that ipfilter is available in OmniOS but have heard that it is
a bit dated when it comes to NAT.
Has anyone tried (or is it feasible) to install OpenBSD or FreeBSD
(perhaps pfSense or OPNsense) in a KVM instance (running in a zone) to
provide an effective firewall for LANs?
