proxies and firewalls
greetings all i often come across proxies and firewalls under the security section of tutorials and guides, i have read that one can create proxies of any internet service like ftp www etc. my question is what exactly is a proxy and how does it play a role in security, why and how does it replace NATing, and how does it play a role in security with regard to NAT. what services can be proxied, is it worth having and general advice. thanks all Hiren. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

pure-ftpd--ipf--jail--TLS
greetings. i have setup a pure-ftpd server in a jail allowing only TLS connections. i am using clients like coreftpd lite, i notice that i can successfully log into the server yet basic commands like list refuse to work. i also noticed that everything worked great as soon as i used the server without TLS encryption. i was wondering what the problem could be related to. i am currently using ipf allowing port 21 through i am also NATing port 21 to my jails ip. i would appreciate some information thanks Hiren. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

running ftpd in a jail
greetings i am setting up a ftp server. since i prefer setting all services within jails, i thought i would setup ftpd within a jail. i was basically NATing the required ports to the jails. i realized that ftpd in passive mode was almost impossible to NAT since it uses a wide range of ports. i then resorted to NATing ports 20 and 21 and using active mode for my server. i wanted to know which mode is more secure and how would i go about setting up ftpd within a jail in passive mode. i would appreciate advice and comments thanks Hiren Patel ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
