Cable modem, Debian firewall/proxy and home PC's - advice!
Well, I've finally graduated to cable-modem, and picked up a PC to hopefully
use as firewall/proxy/whatever (our cable modems are notoriously insecure).
Someone have advice on how to do this - tips/tricks/pitfalls? Maybe a good
idea of which readme's and howto's to use? I'm not bad at config, but this
part's pretty new to me... The PC is blank right now, and I'm thinking about
just setting it up as a basic home PC using eth0 (the cable modem) as the
FTP for pulling Debian to it, then adding whatever I need - I'm thinking
ipfwadmin might be enough, put 2 NIC's in it and connect the second one to
my hub and the other PC's. Sound practical?
Anyone wanting to give advice feel free - thogland@gci.net...
