RE: Alternastive to using squid
Many thanks to all who pointed out that there is an IP Masquarading
mini-howto. It took less than an hour to read through and seems to work
perfectly from the point of view of giving the Windows boxes internet
access.
All I did was enter these commands:
ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 10.0.0.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
Do I need to worry further about security? We are talking about securing a
box that is used by the kids to browse teletubbie sites but obviously I
don't want the hassle of having to reload software if I have left a door
wide open.
BTW, sorry about misspelling "alternatives"
