firewall / proxy / filter

[Trio3b]

Anyone out there experienced with the above topics. Have read scads of tutorials but cannot find anything putting it all into context.

 

Setup is MDV 10.2 on both PCs.

 

PC1(192.168.10.1) -> eth0 -> hub <- eth0 (192.168.10.2) PC2 (auto DNS) ->eth1 -> DSL -> 'net.

 

1. Guessing modem (Yahoo 2 wire) is also a hdwr firewall. Haven't checked yet but will.

2. Am preparing to run squid and dansguardian on PC2. They are installed but not configured yet.

3. Have Internet sharing and ssh enabled.

4. Installed firestarter on PC2. All working except now ssh from PC1 to PC2 not working unless I shut off FS. (hope there are preferences to allow for this)

SSH from PC2 to PC1 OK.

5. shorewall also running

 

Have I got too much stuff going on , is it installed in the most effective way?

Will firestarter and shorewall interfere with each other? I believe they both access iptables.

If 2wire DSL modem has an internal hdwr firewall how does this affect a software firewall?

 

Thanks

PC2 probably has port 22 closed, which is why PC1 cannot access SSH.

 

It all seems OK. I tend to use squid without dansguardian or anything else. Configuration is relatively straightforward.
