A simple, but very effictive solution I'm using for my firewall is using the socks5 sever from http://www.socks.nec.com If you configure it properly you will be able to follow your network access policy. Once installed and configured, and never have to touch it again, unless you change your nework access policies. The socks5 sever works on just about all un*x implementations, including FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, etc. It also comes in FULL source code and is FREE. You can't beat that. Plus it provides for full authentication of clients behind the firewall. BEN KING email: kingkaos@magicnet.net
