Re: Question About ipmasq
How about first setting up your firewall rules to a
pretty basic form.
ie
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
That will make it default not allow any connections at
all, then just set the specific port/destination that
you want the box to allow while you are getting ipmasq
and the other services you feel you need, then plug in
the rj45 and update your box.
