Re: [PLUG] Firewall setup ??
|
Well, the ipchains HOWTO should be your first stop. It'll cover all the
basics of setting up a packet filtering firewall. Beyond that, I picked
up a book called "Linux Firewalls" by Robert L. Ziegler at Borders which
has proved useful to me. Besides showing how to actually implement the
firewall, the book shows you a good approach to designing a firewall. It
also has several real world examples that are very helpful.
On a side note, as no doubt some of you using the 2.3.x kernels
know, ipchains has been replaced by ipfilter. ipfilter in turn is divided
into iptables and ipnatctl. I've been playing with iptables for about a
month now, but I'm mostly interested in ipnatctl. I've heard very very
good things about. So for anyone who is using it, what are your
impressions?
