Thomas, I've been using floppyfw for a while and I'm quite happy with its performance and capabilities. Due to personal requirements, I had to rewrite de firewall rules to suit my need and I want to share these rules. You probably receive a ton of this kind of contribution but hopefully this will still be useful. I'm using the following approach for each trunk (IPUT, OUTPUT and FORWARD): 1st - Exceptions for allowed traffic 2nd - Allowed traffic 3rd - General policy (DROP) All rules are commented, and I also added some configuration to increase protection (such as blocking source routed packets by default). I use this configuration with an AMD 586, 32 MB RAM, 2 Realtek NICs and, floppy FW 2.0.6. My connection is by ADSL with PPPoE. Comments are welcome of course. Regards, Omar Herrera
