Dear Robert,IMHO you should switch to iptables. Concerning the configuration of iptables, install the package shorewall and check out http://www.shorewall.net I switched a year ago from ipchains to iptables and configure my firewall within a few days just by reading the two following documents:
-) iptables :http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html -) shorewall : http://www.shorewall.net/two-interface.htmMy server/firewall runs serveral services to the local network and towards the internet and setting it up with shorewall was very easy and gave me much fullfillment in the sense that I had the feeling I configured it very sophisticated with help of shorewall.

HiHave anybody a good recommendation for an easy to use firewall with port forwarding ?I got a home network with a dedicated (Debian of course) firewall box with ADSL connected, and ipmasq package installed.My problem is that I don't know HOW I should put in the various rules in ipmasq => Which makes me look for something simpler or some examples or tips.What I want to do is open up for incoming mail and http to be able to access my mailserver and internal webserver from internet, but not necessarily on the standard ports but some other ones.Any suggestions or recommendations ? --Robert
