I've followed the list for a few months (& searched through the mailing list archive) and really couldn't find anything that answered my question, so here I go: I've got a home network (FreeBSD, Win95, Mac: with hubs, cat5, etc.) that currently connecting to the Internet via a FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE machine (using ppp -auto -alias ISP), and everything is working great. I stay connected for 8-10 hours at a time (I work from home). My question is mostly related to the security of my network. I want to know if the FreeBSD machine is providing adequate security for me. I've disabled services I do not use on the machine. I'm going to be putting 3.2 STABLE on the gateway machine next week. Should I worry about setting up IPFW & NATD? (is this even possible with ppp?) Are there other things I should be doing? I realize on a dialup I'm kind of like a moving target, but I stay on long enough that I want to make sure I'm being careful. Thanks in advance. Mark.
