Hello all,
My company is looking to changing from an dial-up ISDN connection to a
full time DSL connection. In doing this, it has been recommended that
we use a linux system with two network cards as a firewall from our
internal systems.
What packages should I load (or not load) to give us good protection
from outside problems. I have been using a linux system at home and
this will be the first use of linux at our company (a good start). It
looks like they will give me a Pent 133 system with 32MB RAM and 1GB
SCSI disk for use.
Are there any special problems with doing this that I need to be aware
of? What docs and FAQ's should I read before I get started?
The howtos have several docs on this. Net 3, ipmasq, firewall. Those key
words should help.
Suggestions:
turn off anything you do not need and install only what you need.
experiment before you publicize.
Firewalling can be as complicated as you want to make it.
