Journal SuiteSisterMary's Journal: Bridging firewall on a cd-rom 1

Journal by SuiteSisterMary

I'm playing with m0n0wall, looking for a nice little 'firewall on a cd' I can plop between our router and our network, transparent and bridged.

Anybody have anything they'd like to reccomend?

Useful tricks would be bandwidth shaping and all the various NAT permutations. It looks as though m0n0wall might do what we need, but there might also be something better.

  • The last time I had to do anything like that I used an old Pentium system, a spare NIC, and a stripped down Debian install.

    As long as the firewall machine has a hard drive getting a stripped down *BSD or Linux box to do most things you'd want a firewall/gateway to do isn't too hard. The biggest problem is some distributions don't strip down well.

    Still having a pre-cooked solution is nice. I used LRP a few times back in the day.

    Have to check out monowall, thanks for the tip. ;-)
