Greetings all,
Well, I trust the IT Expo experience went well and those who were able
to participate are well on the road to recovery. Now to the point.
I loaded ipcop last Friday and actually got it to work. I had to switch
NIC locations (both PCI) to get eth0 to be the card I wanted for the
LAN. I then went through the rest of the setup from my browser on my
workstation. I still had the ipcop box on my KVM switch so I could check
to see what was happening when I made a change in the browser.
I found I could connect to my ACS DSL (something I don't think I was
able to do the last time I tried ipcop). However, I could'nt surf. I
had to set up the http proxy and point the browser to the proxy (port
800). At this point I gave up.
So, here is what I want from a stand-alone firewall-Internet connect
server:
1. Transparent surfing (no proxy port setup in the browser).
2. SMTP (transparently) from behind the firewall.
3. Local DNS (not on the firewall) a la djbdns (dnscache/tinydns).
4. FTP, SSH, Fetchmail, etc. should work transparently.
5. Probably some more that I can't think of now.
Of course, I expect the Internet connect part to work on demand.
Cheerio!
