I'd like to be able to see what is coming at me... But I'm too chicken and inexperienced to put an openwrt powered router (TP-Link-WR1043ND) I'm fiddling with in as the lan gateway router connected to direct.path satellite modem.
I have a cisco-lynksys WRT120N doing that job. However that router has no builtin system for mailing logs. You have to go thru a routine of viewing/saving etc/. I'd like to have iptables able to see all that is coming at me but only for logging purposes. Maybe put the openwrt powered router in as a sort of DMZ, but not the normal way a DMZ is used. Just the barest firewall that allows one to log every thing that is suspected of being malicious, and block everything inbound of that nature. So I'm thinking to chain the wan port of the openwrt router to the lan router. Open one lan port to mail logs... and find some help on an appropriate firewall. Then on the lan router set the openwrt router as DMZ. Any one care to comment on such a scheme? _______________________________________________ openwrt-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-users
