I'm about to embark on my next project, getting a Debian system set up as a proxy and firewall. This is going to be the system that my roommate will be connecting to as his gateway to the Internet.
He is running Windows-98SE, and the system that he is currently connecting through (the same one that I will be putting Linux on) is also running 98SE with ICS. So, what I need to know is, what would be a suitable set of packages to download and install for routing and firewall services for him? Since I want to have this system operational pretty fast, I need something that is fairly simple to configure. It should also be able to block outgoing stuff from his system that he doesn't want phoning home (that would include Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, and any spyware, for example.) I also need to make sure that the MMORPG that he has become addicted to can be played through the firewall. The game is Horizons, and it is played through Internet Excreter exclusively, unfortunately due to its use of ActiveX. Any suggestions for this project? Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
