Smoothwall

<< < (3/3)

Master of Reality:
i'm installing smoothwall in my 'testing' computer. It doesnt let you partition or choose almost anything when installing. it automatically partitions the HD for you. I find that quite annoying.
 Everything is confusing. there is a squid cache directory... but no squid anywhere else.

Id there a GUI? I cant find it?

Master of Reality:
no GUI. Its all done from a browser on another computer. this annoys me much, because i installed it on a standalone computer   :(  
[EDIT!:hmmm... i guess i just forgot that this computer actually is on a network    ]

Master of Reality:
how would i go about putting a firewall and proxy on separate boxes... or two firewalls.
I just install smoothwall on a extra box that isnt directly connected to the internet, but is on the same network as my other computers. I would i get my web traffic to go through both?

You would have to put them in series. I actually have had mine set up that way for the last few months. I have a Netscreen 5 connected directly to my cable modem which does firewall/VPN, then I have only one computer attached to the Netscreen's trusted interface, a Linux box with 2 NICs also acting as a firewall (it was my primary firewall). This allows me a little more security on my inside network to both the Internet and to the private network I VPN in to. Plus when I installed the netscreen I didn't have to reconfigure anything on my internal network except for my original Linux firewall's untrusted interface.
