Before everyone yells at me ,) I'm a newbie and I have bought two books to learn freebsd but, I'm still really confused on hoe to setup a stand alone computer to do three things. 1: act as a firewall for the rest of my internel network 2: act as a gateway for my lan 3 somehow provide transparent web proxy and filtering using dansguardian for my childrens computers I have a pentium 233 w/64MB/s of ram and a 4 gig hard drive and two 3com nics right now I use smoothwall as all of the above but I can't install dansguardian on smoothwall GPL which is OK I have problems with smoothwall actually forwarding ports to my freebsd-4.7-REALEASE which is home to my APACHE and DJBdns ,) The two books btw are Absolute BSD by Michael Lucus, and The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey 3rd edition I've been studying the networking section in the The Complete FreeBSD Anyway I was wondering if Building Linux and Openbsd Firewalls by Wes Sonnenreich is the book I need to learn how to do this? Also is there any good how-to's for extreme newbies on how to do the above without going bald? ,) Well again thank you and thank you in advance for any help.
