Hi,
[...] b.t.w. The Packet Filter "ipchains" from Linux is NO firewall, it's a packet filter. A usable firewall needs application layer and stateful inspection, too. By combining the diffent freeware tools (inc. ipchains) you can configure a nearly complete firewall. The new 2.4 Kernel "iptables" will have functions for stateful inspection.
Greetings, Oliver Grube
a short newbie question: which freeware tools should I use to setup a "nearly complete" Firewall and why do I need application layers for a simple network setup with only www, ssh and smtp configured?
