These cracking idiots are a pain and waste my valuable time! Some advice please. What if I.... * Build a separate firewall machine ( I have one to use) which is only that using IPFW. * Have my existing dns/web/mail/ftp/router on a separate machine with dual network cards...one attached to the Lan and one attached to the firewall computer. OR simply setup IPFW on the existing router With option 1, how do I disable or restrict all compilers and ability to run scripts etc or whatever I need?? I presume I need to include rules to allow mail web etc requests to pass. The Freebsd docs has a section on firewalls, will this be a sufficient set to let my standard services run..e.g. mail to get out & in and http requests in from the world to apache?
