Hi Marko, the best way to set up an firewall easy and fast is to use the suse-firewall-skript. Everything is explained well in the configuration-file /etc/rc.config.d/firewall???*. All you have to do is define your DEV_WORLD (ippp0 or ppp0), then you should be ready to go! Later you can try this one: open up high-ports only for dns and ftp-data. Be sure to activate suse-firewall in yast->administration->change configuration file! Hope that helps. Best regards, Ralf Ronneburger Marko Kaening schrieb:
Hi,
much is read about ipchains in this list. I know there are also howtos about this subject, sure. But maybe somebody could give me a hint concerning a good introduction to how to set-up a firewall using ipchains with SuSE?
Unfortunately I found only manuals which explain how to firewall bigger networks, but I have a single host which I connect from time to time to the net. So I think setting-up such a thing should be a lot easier. BUT how?
Any help welcome.
Regards, Marko
