Linux Firewalls [iso firewalls]

yoogie · 01-28-2002, 06:55 AM

Hi, I've got a question.

I'm experimenting with iso-firewalls for a longer time now.
I tried the smoothwall, the Mandrake Single Network Firewall, the fli4l, the ipcop and the trustix firewall, but no one fits my requests.

I want to route the protocol nr. 47 (GRE) and the PPTP protocol to my client in order to create a vpn connection from my xp-client to another w2k server.

Could you give me a hint how I can realise this?

regards

iptables will do this just fine

Ok

so I'll have to update the kernel of the singlenetworkfirewall from mandrake to the 2.4.16 kernel or is there another way?
Linuxwall v.2 ?

regards

just build your own iptables script to be your firewall. there are some good docs on this at www.linuxdoc.org or lookup iptables examples with google.com
