iptables and hardware router
I'm setting up a server (rh7.3) which will have an ftp/web server and act as a pdc for my lan. I have a netgear ro318 router which will forward http and ftp requests to my server. I will be installing as little as possible and will use the latest patches.
I was hacked (rootkit) using telnet/wu-ftp a while back and will setting up ssh and proftp.
My question is, do iptables have any value if I'm using an NAT router that blocks all ports except my web/ftp/telnet?
Is ssh and proftp a good solution?
I will not allowing anonymous ftp.
Thanks.
