I also bought your book some years ago and found it to be very useful. However, I still have problems with ftp-proxy. From the handbook example I understand that it is _NOT_ possible to set it up on a client with only an external interface, though I'm not certain of this. My system is very simple: Host <--> Linksys Router <--> Modem <--> Internet Is it possible to to set up pf on the host as an ftp client without opening up all the ports above 1024? If so how?
