Linux router/firewall
I am thinking about getting rid of my sonicwall firewall and am looking at different distros to see what is easiest to configure
Here is what i am running at home. FTP Server WWW server File Server Possible Countersrike and Halo Server I have 2 different internet connections both with static ips. i should add specs for pc in case anyone wants to know amd 750 mhz 784 mb of ram 40 gb hdd. Which distro would you use. |
I choose other and just use one of the many firewall scripts already out there. Even going to here and starting with a basic one and fine tuning from an editing tool from there. http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/
I guess I am just old school. hard to get into gui for some things. Brian |
I've been rolling my own firewall rules for many years, before their were any firewall-specific distros. My last big change was when a converted from ipchains to iptables.
|
i forgot to mention that the box mentioned above is my spare pc i want to use for my gatway/router. i have 4 pc's total at home plus 1 laptop.
1 pc is mine. 1 for wife/kids 1 for ftp/www/file server. laptop for work 1 spare/sandbox to do whatever i want with. |
Well since noone posted to this i am running pf sense as a firewall/router.

Voted other. Using Fedora Core 6 and iptables
