Anyone use Firestarter for Linux?

Postby Socco » Tue Aug 28, 2007 9:59 pm

Hey guys,

Does anyone here have a Firestarter Firewall (Linux, for those of you who don't :P)

I'm looking to basically DMZ an IP by allowing traffic on any port to any destination IF it comes from the IP Foo.bar.not.valid

Code: Select all
$IPT -p tcp -I FORWARD -s Foo.bar.not.valid/32 -d 0/0 --dport ??? -j ACCEPT
$IPT -p udp -I FORWARD -s Foo.bar.not.valid/32 -d 0/0 --dport ??? -j ACCEPT


If you can help me...thanks! :D

Check out this article

This screen will let you set up network services that are available through your firewall. Note that there is one lacking bit of functionality in Firestarter — implementing a DMZ (De-Militarised Zone). This would add a larger measure of safety to allowing public access to services on your network. (Some other tools, such as gShield, do. gShield in particular does not have a GUI or any monitoring capability, though.) For most home users, the lack of a DMZ feature in Firestarter isn't of grave concern and you can allow through whatever services you wish. (Please read your ISP's Terms of Service to make sure that this is allowed by your provider.) It would be advisable to leave everything closed at first. That way, you can make sure the firewall is functional and fix any problems before you add more things to debug.


May I suggest pfsense http://www.pfsense.com/

or M0n0wall http://m0n0.ch/wall/

http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/examples.html

I sure these will do a DMZ with a third nic.
