Hi, you are going the right path, but... I would set up a VPN gateway ( poptop for example ), and when they connect they could get a static IP. Based on this static IP it would be easy to control their access to db, file or some other server or service on your network. This would be easy to set up if you have not more then 20 users ( IMHO ). This is only an idea and it is probably not the perfect solution ;) Regards, Edvin Seferovic -----Original Message----- From: netfilter-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:netfilter-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nagy Zoltan Sent: Samstag, 09.
