Why does it have to be CentOS? If you want a wonderful router/firewall
that you can have up and running in a few minutes, you should look at this:
www.pfsense.org
I quote from their website:
"pfSense is a free, open source customized distribution of FreeBSD
<http://www.freebsd.org> tailored for use as a firewall and router. In
addition to being a powerful, flexible firewalling and routing platform,
it includes a long list of related features and a package system
allowing further expandability without adding bloat and potential
security vulnerabilities to the base distribution."
If you insist in using Linux instead, you could look at this:
www.ipcop.org
Once again, a distro specialized on the function it performs.
Why have a generic and bloated system that you then have to customize
from scratch when such wonderful specialized projects already exist?
I use Linux servers and a pfsense firewall to protect the network. Works
like a charm, with amazing stability and reliability.
