Thanks to all, I have a dual-homed gateway running FreeBSD. The internal LAN (NIC) is class "C" (192.168.c.d). The external NIC has been assigned a static IP address from the ISP (63.203.c.d). I'm running NAT, and would like to know if this will provide enough protection for the internal LAN? I also have a firewall compiled into the kernel, but the rules prevent NAT from working whenever the firewall is in any other state except allowing "any to any". When the firewall is using "open" rules (allowing any to any) is NAT still providing protection to the internal network? If not, does anyone have any additional suggestions?
