Hi, I'm using Firestarter as my firewall. If I restart the network or my DSL line goes down, I have to manually restart Firestarter. I have sh /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh stop and then sh /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh start in my ip-up.local file. I confirmed ip-up.local us being executed by placing an entry in the logs, but it appears firestarter is not or at least not correctly.

Hi, I am planning to use <firestarter> to manage the incoming and outgoing network connections.

If i choose to install Firestarter : - Have you installed and used Firestarter in CentO 5.5? If yes,Please share the process of installation.

Hello, I see manage of firewall in CentOS (called security), and seems difficult to manage, not enough powerful. I am searching a middle term between scripts of iptables to manage and Security manager of CentOS. I know FireStarter, another similar? -- Devel in Precio http://www.pas-world.com

Hello all, I''m somewhat new to networking, and I''m having trouble masquerading connections that are coming over a bridge. The bridge only has a single port for now, but I''m going to add more ports later. I''m basing my configuration on the two-interface quick start guide. I''m using Shorewall 3.0.4 on Ubuntu Dapper. My network looks like this: * The

Hello, I am trying to use iptables together with tc I need to use IPMARK module of iptables, but I got a strange error after I run ''iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j IPMARK --addr=dst --and-mask=0xffff --or-mask=0x1000'' The command is copied from iptables manual itself (of course interface changed) I only got " iptables v1.3.5: Unknown arg

I need a decent, easy, firewall on Centos. This is for test systems, so I do not need a lot. For 'a lot', I use and Astaro firewall. I had used Firestarter once, but found out that it cannot handle routing between a public and private network. Basically saying this is impossible. Of course, if your private network is addressed per RFC 1918 (that I co-authored), I can understand

I am looking into different firewall tools. Well, I am looking to turn my Centos notebook into a NAT box, so that I can plug my corp notebook into its ethernet, and get access through my Centos notebook's wireless connection. (yes the corp notebook has wireless, but they frown on us using it!) I have started with Shorewall via webmin. I suspect that since my main firewall is Astaro, I

When a web site is attacked, so far by unsuccessful hackers, my error routine adds the attackers IP address, prefixed by 'deny', to that web site's .htaccess file. It works and the attacker, on second and subsequent attacks, gets a 403 error response. I want to extend the exclusion ability to every web site hosted on a server. My preferred method is iptables. However, when

Hi all, Just switched my home computer from Windows 7 to CentOS 6.6 and I'm having a slight bit of trouble with the bittorrent-clients. * Transmission is fine but lacks "a bit" in features. * Vuze is my preferred bt-client but gives me horrendous gfx-artifacts, like not showing the torrent name (it's white text on a white background or some such...). * Deluge is better, and

Hi All, I want to build a dedicated firewall/router as I am launching a NPO and I can host this in my garage. (Comcast offered me a 100 x 20 circuit for $99/mo with 5 statics) I used to run Untangle, but as of version 9, you are forced to use their build in protocol policies versus the firewalling I am used to (Deny All and then opening holes for specific IP's, etc). There are so many

Evening all: Thought I'd announce myself with a question about setting up sources.list to be able to begin download and install of R. Running version 7.10 of Ubuntu. (Tried 8.04 but found it slow and finicky with my hardware. Perhaps will try 8.10 or above, but that's a thought for another time.) Followed the notes on the R site and added the following lines to my sources.list: deb

Well I think this system is back on 3.5. How do I tell? Have not used it in a while... I need a NAT for some quick testing and this box was available. Only a 6gb drive, so I can't install Astaro (which I have licenses for). So is there a simple way to turn on NATing? Should I upgrade to 4.2? This box is behind a firewall, so security risks are not the issue. This time.

Hello, I am trying to figure out a problem I'm having using CentOS on a machine as a router. The short story is: any traffic routed through the router seems to get disconnected at random occasionally. The hardware setup is: I have two switches, the router sits between them, the webserver on the LAN switch. The machine I'm using for the router is a Dell 860 1U rackmount with two NICs,

Everytime I see this in the logs my internet access stops for about 5 minutes. Nothing else follows in the logs. I have DSL. Any ideas?

Hi, I'm using the generic system-config-securitylevel-tui program on a remote server to configure my firewall. So far it's been fairly decent, allowing me to open up ports and whatnot. But I want to start blocking a couple of outgoing ports on my machine. I want to lock it down so the only traffic going in our out of my machine is stuff that I specify. Is there a way to do this
