I kinda like Monmotha IP tables firewall - nice and simple and very flexible. I use it for troubleshooting too. Throw it in place and if everybody can surf after running it in a basic configuration then I know 4sure the issue is the firewall...or packet forwarding hasn't been turned on. But on the box you've got I'm assuming it isn't a natbox for more machines behind it so packet forwarding wouldn't be an issue. Shorewall is just overkill for me, what with it's DMZ concept (good concept but I don't use a DMZ). Once I've proven it's a firewall thing then I decide whether or not to use shorewall or redhat's firewall setup or just keep with monmotha. I don't think monmotha deals with VPN situations. Sure, you can add VPN rules but there's no "VPN=yes" or VPN="no" type of quick config options. ------------------------------------ The Juneau Linux Users Group -- http://www.juneau-lug.org This is the Juneau-LUG mailing list.
