headless firewall application recommendation
Greetings:
I am looking for recommendations for firewall/router software for
Debian. I have looked over several packages, but I feel swamped. I
used an old Woody CD for very basic install, updated kernel and then
upgraded the system to Sarge. All is working great, so far. Now I
want to use this computer as a firewall to connect other computers in
the house LAN to the internet (safely). I am no expert and firewall
rules cause me to stagger in my chair, so I am looking for a package
that will set good default rules for the LAN, yet can be tweaked if I
get the urge to open a port for a game etc. Also, the system will be
without keyboard/mouse/monitor, so I want to avoid instlling X on it.
TIA
Wishing you well.
