[KLUG Members] Firewalls and Gateways

[Rusty Yonkers]

I am running IPCOP as my firewall.  It is a standalone
firewall that is based on a linux kernel.  If you have
a cd burner it is really easy to get it.  Just
download the iso image (about 20 meg - it is a small
one) and burn a cd.  You can then boot to the cd and
install.  The install is fairly straight forward.  It
will work with cable modem, dsl, regular modem, and
isdn.  I have it hooked to my cable modem.  It seems
quite secure so far (way more than the M$ Winblows
solution I used to run).  It should run more than
adequate on your 200Mhz machine!

The web site is www.ipcop.org and has much good info.
