I want to use Ubuntu as a firewall and wireless AP, with some external traffic passing through openVPN, and the rest just through a firewall

http://askubuntu.com – I would like to do some configuration through Zentyal or a similar setup, but I am also willing to use config files. I am connecting to a commercial VPN using a username and password. I want that traffic to then pass through a firewall, then I want to provide services like dhcp and dns to a wired and wireless interface (wireless using hostapd). I also would like to have a similar network on two other interfaces that passes through the firewall but not the VPN. If possible I want both networks to see the local machines on each network and receive services such as a SAMBA and CUPS share, NTP, (HowTos)

Stories similar to I want to use Ubuntu as a firewall and wireless AP, with some external traffic passing through openVPN, and the rest just through a firewall

basically I have a home wireless network and running openSuse 11.2 and using Yast ... hp j6480 wireless (setup with hplip) printer (multifunction fax/scan/printer), toshiba laptop wireless, and netgear wireless router .. as long as the firewall is not running I can print just fine ... as soon as I start the firewall I have connection errors ...

I have an extra desktop PC with 2 NICs that I'd like to use as my home firewall. I'll install a linux distro meant to be used as a firewall on the desktop.

I was thinking of placing it in between the cable modem and wireless:

modem <-> desktop_NIC1 <-> (firewall software) <-> desktop_NIC2 <-> wireless router <-> laptops, ipads, etc.

I am trying to help a client of mine (A hotel in denmark) setting up a wireless network, and as there are a law in Denmark forcing the "provider" of the wireless network to log all traffic to and from the computers that attach to the internet, I am trying to make the following:

wlan interface in firewall... 3 years 22 weeks ago

Have searched and can't find anything... Have a PC using a xmicro Wlan adaptor that works fine, except for allowing services through the firewall. The interface doesn't appear either in the network setup in yast or in the firewall interface section, and I therefore can't get Samba or Mediatomb through the firewall. How can I allow this? (I'm sure this is obvious...) Thanks, John.

What I have in mind and used is a commercial gateway/firewall with an web-interface for configuration that has this specifications:

Administration Network Monitoring and logging Authentication Firewall IPS and iDS VPN server Multiple internet gateways Bandwidth management Public dns Application firewall SSL-VPN webportal High availability Content scanning: web traffic Content scanning: mail tr

I'm trying to test a network device (firewall) using a Linux box, with two network cards, one interface connected to the WAN zone and another interface to LAN zone.

The configuration is similar with that

|ETH0| <-> | FW | <-> ETH1

So from both interfaces I'm able to ping the respective firewall interface.

Hi everyone,

Hopefully there is someone here that can help me with the problem I got. At my office I have 1 ubuntu firewall/gateway and several networks.

On the firewall/gateway I have three network cards, one for internet, one for network 192.168.100.0 and one for network 172.20.1.0

We use fwbuilder to make the firewall rules and have there defined the three network cards and the two ne

i setup endian firewall on a computer based on a Intel Core i5 with 4 intel network interface, i made all the necessary configuration and the firewall is performing well.

I've an old computer based on Intel Celeron with 4 mixed (Realtek, Intel, Broadcom) network cards.

I have a router that has 5 static ip addresses set on it. These external static IP's are mapped to internal IP's on our LAN. We currently have no firewall or proxy set up, so I cannot monitor user bandwidth usage or block content.

I have set up an Ubuntu firewall with 2 network cards and Squid proxy and am able to connect to the internet via the firewall from a workstation within the LAN.
