I'm new to firewalls too. I installed ipmasq on my
gateway box. Is this not right? It just "works" and
I've not had a single nasty showing up on the logs of
windows clients (with ZoneAlarm) that sit private side
of the gateway.

I guess I'm using ipmasq as a firewall...? *gulp* ?

Is this open and vulnerable?
