I know this is probably a tall order, however, I have a spare PC with a
couple of network cards. I would like to change it into a firewall &
proxy. Just to learn more about firewalls / security and web caching.
In the past I've installed linux / iptables / squid / fwbuilder etc.
However, it took a lot to get it compiled running and configured. It
was a little more work and a little less elegant then I originally
intended. Although I learned a lot, this time I am looking for a
cleaner (simpler) solution. One where I could manage the entire thing
from an fwbuilder type interface and one that would work 'out of box' so
to speak.
Do I need to go a Linux route with iptables / squid manually built by
hand. Configure OS / IP-Tables / FW-builder / SQUID or some equivalent
solutions or are there already free canned distro/appliances that will
let me remotely push a firewall policy onto this machine and manage its
proxy settings from a remote location. (Save my trip to the basement).
Hopefully this solution has some sort of free IDS type detection built
in as well. Thank you in advance and please point me in the right
direction if at all possible.
Run squid and IPF - free and free'er. Run Webmin to make it more
'appliance' like.
