I was playing with shorewall and I was able to make the nat thing for a web server inside the firewall work. Now what I want to know is what shorewall did to make it work. :D I have been helped by many people here already but I can't make it work. I don't want to use shorewall for permanent use because it made a lot of rules that might not helpful and instead make my system prone to attacks. fritz <www.mesedilla.com> --- + Basta Ikaw Lord > -----Original Message----- > From: Arnt Karlsen [mailto:arnt@xxxxxxx] > Sent: Monday, September 08, 2003 7:09 PM > To: netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: shorewall > > > On Mon, 8 Sep 2003 17:26:10 +0800, > "Fritz Mesedilla" <fritz.mesedilla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote > in message > <F22386C3FEB012449238672E38ED61E70A8CB0@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > > > > Has anybody used shorewall? > > ..yup. > > > If I try shorewall to fix my nat problem (make it easier) and still > > does not work, will I be able to disable shorewall and implement a > > manual setup of iptables again? > > ..yup. > > ..check out http://webmin.com/ , has a neat shorewall module. > > ..also check out ipcop-1.3.0 at http://ipcop.org/ is a firewall > distro with proxy server, 5 minute setup time, a good tutor > towards shorewall. > > -- > ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) > ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... > Scenarios always come in sets of three: > best case, worst case, and just in case. > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
