Finally I'm going to have time, to put in house a firewall with openbsd,
to learn pf.
I'm not an expert in networks, so sorry for this OT, not related to
openbsd.
There are 3 questions: about Vlans, usb installation and DoS atacks...
The scene is the following one:
about 50 Meters of utp-5e
[ Mi room ]----------------------------------[ Garage ]
| |
| |
[ 8 port switch ] [ 3com superstack III ]
| |------------------- | |
| | | | |
[ adsl router ] | | [ web server ] [ Other machines ]
| | Obsd 3.9 Only LAN services
[ Desktop PCs ] |
|
[2 laptops])))[ Wifi AP ]
To the garage, only a network cable can go, because they do not fit more
in the tubes. I would like that everything was filtered, but I cannot
put a always runing machine in my room. Switch of 8 ports is not
manageable and the 3com produces much noise.
My questions are:
If i send all the traffic direct to the garage, passing by the 8 ports,
and soon returns by the same cable, the machines in the 8 ports are in
danger some? (they would be in a diferent vlan, managed by firewall,
that the router)
Is some doc of howto install obsd in a usb memory? because i can put in
my room, some 486 or P1, that without hard disk do not produce noise.
My old zyxel router, does not have a good answer with DoS attacks, many
connections, etcb& is some way to avoid it or I must change it
unavoidably?
Any other wonderful idea/change to protect well my network ?
Sorry for the OT, thanks in advance, and congratulations to all those
that make openbsd. And by the music that accompanies releases jeje
