Setting up a firewall box

[David Wadson]

www.shorewall.net

Not only is it an easy but powerful firewall system to use, but the 
author's documentation is excellent. The quickstart guides and FAQ 
sections ought to cover every question you have. If they don't, there 
is a very helpful mailing list. However, if you need to use that, make 
sure you've read the documentation, FAQs, and mostly importantly, the 
instructions on how to post your support questions. The author can get 
rather short with people who don't do that before posting a question 
that has already been answered many times before.

I use it on a Power Mac 7300 with multiple NICs and several VPN tunnels.
