MONOWALL WAN
Hi, I have a client who would like to share a DSL connection with a neighboring office. I would like to put my clients network (they only need to share Internet) on a separate IP network behind a monowall. My question is, will monowall allow a private address (the LAN IP of router) to be its WAN address? Thanks Laurie ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks Laurie my firewall is pfSense, which is based on monowall. on pfSense, in order to use a private address on the wan interface, you have to uncheck a box that says block private networks (it even says 'for the purposes of putting the wan interface on a private lan). i would assume due the lineage of pfSense, that monowall likely has a similar feature. hth, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks Laurie Hi Laurie, I'm not sure about monowall, but I know for sure that an OpenBSD or FreeBSD machine running OpenBSD's packet filter will do the trick very nicely. Check out pf(4) and pf.conf(5) or the FreeBSD Handbook on the subject. You can also grab a copy of Jacek Artymiak's book Building Firewalls with OpenBSD and PF, 2nd edition which covers pf(4) very well.
