True, half are usually home users that are just using the SNAT facilities because of their ISP's IP policies. The other half are corporate, educational, and advanced users that actaully want to implement best practices in protecting their systems. I'm very glad that both groups can find value in netfilter. The Netfilter ML has been a very excellent group to work with both in questions and answers. Give yourselves a pat on the back. :-) PS: Does anyone else recommend good ML's/IRC for people to find useful information in? I find the following Mailing lists useful for my (admin) work: Bugtraq: Notifications of security problems and some high-level security conversations (10-20/day) http://www.securityfocus.com Fw-Wiz: General Firewall and Security site, high-level conversations (1-10/day) http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards LARTC: Linux networking mostly routing and Traffic Control questions (8-15/day) http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc
