I have a client who would like to share a DSL connection with a neighboring
office. I would like to put my clients network (they only need to share
Internet) on a separate IP network behind a monowall. My question is, will
monowall allow a private address (the LAN IP of router) to be its WAN
address?
Thanks
Laurie
Hi Laurie,
I'm not sure about monowall, but I know for sure that an OpenBSD or
FreeBSD machine running OpenBSD's packet filter will do the trick very
nicely. Check out pf(4) and pf.conf(5) or the FreeBSD Handbook on the
subject. You can also grab a copy of Jacek Artymiak's book "Building
Firewalls with OpenBSD and PF, 2nd edition" which covers pf(4) very
well.
Some URL on the subject:
