Re: [Dshield] firewall help request

As I understand, John, you can't do nothing then packet filtering on 
linux. No stateful firewall, no proxing technologies....
Linux with iptables is good for very low cost solutions or for home 
solution, where two skilled people using opera browser surh the net.

But if you are talking about normal security budget, you need to have such 
solution that can protect you users running IE.
Cyberguard with proxying technologies or equivalent solutions from other 
vendors
