RE: firewall



Hi.

I have personally used pmfirewall and the results are good.
But to give you a good advise, just study the IPCHAINS and build your own
configuration including only those rules you need.
I admit PMFirewall added the lowest number of "junk" rules but when i built
my own config it was the strongest one with a minimum number of bugs or
holes (so far).

Subject: firewall


I'm finally starting to do something about security and I want to install a
firewall. I've looked around and there are so many programs available that
I'd
like to hear recommendations from people who have used a firewall. Since I'm
using Mandrake, I looked at their site and they recommend **pmfirewall**.
There's also a very detailed tutorial. There are also many firewalls
available
on Tucows, but other than counting the number of cows, I don't know which to
choose.

Any ideas?

TIA
