Re: [PLUG] Cheap Firewall

I use the fitlet lan models for security nodes (4 gigabit ports). It might be overkill price-wise when you build it for what you want to do.

I'm not sure how to setup a good firewall, however.

Up till now, I've been using an old PC with 3 network cards.  But
without the servers, this is way overkill.   I thought I might use an
old wireless router (in non-wireless mode) to provide NAT.  But I'm not
sure if that is robust enough.


Any suggestions from the list on setting up a good, low-power firewall
that is capable of gigabit speeds?
