Subject: need help firewalling homebrew http+smtp+dns+vpn
Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2003 08:07:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031221070757.GD15390@dragonII> (raw)

hello, these are my naive questions, I am a newbie:

I need to firewall my homebrew linux boxes, say to close everything I can to/from outside (internet), and do 
everything inside my vpn. On the FIREWALL machine I also run some server whose services/ports must keep to be 
accessible to/from outside. Those kinds of connections I need to do also to servers outside.
All the machines of the VPN need to be free to suft the outside internet. So also masquerading and forwarding are 
needed.

thanks a lot for your help,
Andrea



That's my box: (see also below for explanations)
