Hello, I just would like to know what equipement de I need to add and what do I have to modify and change in my FreeBSD-2.2.2 configuration to make my firewall work. I currently have two Ports Terminals (100 modems), 3 FreeBSD machines (mail server, web server, dns server) and a CISCO router. The default gateway for the Ports Terminal are the router (I can't build my firewall on the router because we don't own it and we don't have access to it). If I change the default gateway of my port terminal to a FreeBSD machine, what supplementary hardware will I need and what are the configurations I'll have to change to make packets the are coming from the Ports Terminals go to the router...)? And will it slow the FreeBSD machine? Should I buy another computer to do just that? And will it slow the connection of my users? Thanks a lot!
