Hello Henning,
Sorry for asking, but just to make sure I understand your statement,
do you mean, bridging straight and simple between your internal
network and the big bad internet, of bridging on 2 lans or more to the
outside?
No, what Henning is telling you is that you shouldn't do bridging unless
you have no choice. But if you start from scratch, meaning you can do as
you want, then do not set it up in a bridging mode as it's not the best
way to do so.
Sometime you do bridging when you are changing a setup and you use it as
an interim set to clean up your setup, etc. Or if there isn't any other
way to go at it.
But he is suggesting to avoid it at any cost when possible.
Best,
Daniel
