Greetings, We are just getting DSL (rural America here). Previously, I had a PC installed with 4.3, running ppp -auto -nat, etc. The ISP provides a DSL router (Slipstream) that you plug into your network hub/switch. It can do nat, filtering, etc. I'm not sure how good it is at security, so I'd like to configure the old FreeBSD 4.3 box to do security for my network. How should I do that ? IE, do I put two nics in the FreeBSD box, connect one interface to the slipstream router, and plug the other into my network switch ? Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated, as I am looking to have good security. On 24/7 with a dedicated IP can allow a lot of nefarious types the opportunity to pound on my connection. thanks, Darryl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
