Hi, I have my firewall up and running. It's a bridging firewall, so I had to do the WAN -> OPT1 setup and let LAN dangle. I have a Soekris board with two ethernet ports and a PCMCIA card slot. I could not find a ethernet card that would work in the slot, so I stuck a wireless card in there. I set the LAN IP to 0.0.0.0 and gave it some bogus BSS info. I setup the WAN bridged with OPT1. Enabled the bridge filtering, turned off NAT, turn off all the other stuff. Then I setup my rules to block everything and allow only the ports I wanted. Blocked outgoing SMTP except to my mail server (thwart those dam spam viruses). Opened up a big block if ports for vid'ea games, for my customers. Works great! I can use my entire public C class now instead of NAT and one IP. I can blocks the ports I want to block, allows the ports I want to allow, and it has a nice traffic graph to boot. I see now that I need to get another T1 as I'm reaching 1.5MB on my single T1. I'm happy to get m0n0wall working on my firewall. Sad that I can't use it for my Wireless Access Points, but hey...can't have everything. If I can get rid of the wireless card it would be perfect! |
